      Pros

      -You get to see a ton of cool business les in your area -Company has good goals and aspirations -Practice your business to business interactions and problem solving skills

      Cons

      -Pay is horrendous, base salaries are near the federal minimum allowed. -There are no performance reviews or raises to base pay. In there eyes if you want more money then you need to sell more and to earn a larger commission. -Uses a lean employment model so you are asked to do more then there is time for and you have little to no help -Corporate company provides little to no support to the branches to accomplish tasks -Employee turnover is high causing issues in product knowledge, sales ability and customer trust.

      Pros

      Great company culture, love the investment they put in for career advancement. Great people to work with, CEO is amazing but he's stepping down this month. Benefits are good. Decentralized organization so your ideas and solutions actually get listened to and implemented. Feel like I'm actually making a difference in the company.

      Cons

      Pay is lower than the industry average for most departments and they don't keep up with the cost of living, don't do bonuses (unless you're in sales) or pay raises. You have to ask to get one and most times they say no. Very male dominant at the branches and in sales, but many women in corporate leadership. Don't have any DEI initiatives. Not flexible on relocation for internal management roles, have to be at corporate HQ in Winona, MN.
