Pros

Very small business feel considering the size of the company. Interactions with management are very personal, and generally leave you feeling more like a person than a 'human resource'. Decent pay and benefits, very laid back industry in general.

Cons

The branch manager can make or break the entire experience. I haven't personally had a bad yet, but the autonomy given to the manager leaves employees in a precarious situation when there are changes. Also dealing with lighting vendors is a terrible experience.

Pros

Great people to work with

Cons

Low pay. You had to wait for annual profit sharing. If it was a bad year, no money.

Pros

A very comprehensive schedule for you to follow and overall it lists everything that you will need to learn to be successful. It will depend on your PC location on the extent of the product and operations training, but they will try overall to put you in a successful location to learn from. Lots of travel opportunities and will get to network with a lot of people in the industry.

Cons

Very past paced and demanding, may not be suitable for some. Once in outside sales phase, if you're not selling chances are you probably won't make it to manager. If you get placed in a small market for outside sales, it will be even more challenging especially if your accounts don't have that much potential to begin with. Earnings potential capped in training program.
