Pros

Fantastic company to work for. As a Profit Center Manager for CED you are given an incredible amount of freedom to run your own business. The core values of the company are also solid and upper management feels very upstanding and moral. Opportunities for growth are available for anyone who is willing to work hard whether that is in management or sales. There are tons of industry veterans with knowledge in abundance and most are willing to share. CED is an outstanding place for anyone who is a self-starter and motivated to keep growing and learning.

Cons

More of a commentary than a con - the management training program can be daunting as it is generally 2-3 years long. As a new trainee this felt overwhelming but looking back as a manager it is incredible how short that period is considering the responsibility placed in your hands at the end. If you can stick it out and absorb as much as you can in that time, the opportunities are vast.

Pros

- Travel the country (but mainly to middle-of-nowhere areas) - You get a cubicle. - Always busy, so you won't be bored.

Cons

- Abysmal leadership - Women paid less than men. - Unfair allocation of training, audits, and profit sharing.
