Pros

On the job training & development - print, online, hands-on and peer training as a basis of each employees training. Helpful management & sales support - management and sales teams to ensure your continued development. Excellent Benefit Package including Medical & Life Insurance, 401K, employee discount. Travel Opportunities- as a Field Operations Manager you have the ability to travel within your region or nationwide. I have had the opportunity to work in a half dozen stores across the north-east and have learned aspects of the lumber & home materials industry from each of the management teams at each of those locations. The ability to learn from so many individuals is allowing me to be knowledgeable and confident so that I can give outstanding customer service to homeowners and the professional contractor. Nationwide organization that offers opportunities for career advancement and relocation.

Cons

Starting base-pay is a bit low for someone with two decades of management experience, but the in-depth training and opportunities for advancement including co-manager, sales, warehouse supervisor, transportation dispatcher and corporate positions exceeds the starting financials.
