      Pros

      Strong Employee Stock Owned company with positive yearly growth and opportunities across the US. ESOP benefits are great for long term employees.

      Cons

      Small company feel has been lost, but they are working to get back to that stage again. Depending on department, management may not be the most engaging.

      Pros

      ESOP - employee owned culture & fantastic retirement. Multiple verticals and great breadth of supplier support. Continued expansion offers more opportunities for customers and employees.

      Cons

      Pace of technology deployment and enhancement needs to be faster.

      Pros

      I worked there for 13 years. Not all for Border States. We ended up "Merging" with BS around 7 years into my Employment, With all of the hopes and dreams promised that culture would never change. In fact that is WHY they wanted us to be a part of their team. During my time there I really enjoyed the people that I worked around in my office, and learning new things and helping others.

      Cons

      Flash forward to the last 3 years of my employment with BS. We have moved into a new office that is 2-1/2 times further away than our original location was. Culture has taken a 180 degree turn(if you can call it a culture anymore) All of the sudden your weeks are more full of random "Lunch and Learn" meetings and various "what went wrong here office conversations". Management doesn't even have enough time to manage due to consistently being on conference calls with whatever new position the "Board" has decided to whip out of thin air.
