Pros

Used to be an excellent work environment, team building, managers interested in your career.

Cons

Inadequate training. Current focus is on text book type recurrent training instead of hands on. Senior and Regional management too far removed from the sales floor to see what works effectively. Definite double standards between management and sales.

Pros

The company has many positive aspects, yet working there is great if you are a part of the rat pack.

Cons

When working as a Buyer, I knew I was new at the job, yet was surprised over the arrogance and rudeness of other Buyers. The company promotes bad behavior and back stabbing.
