Pros

It depends on who your GM is. If you have a good GM, you will have a great experience and truly enjoy the job. It is hard work and sometimes frustrating, but it's a lot of fun having access to multiple businesses and helping them get what they need.

Cons

You may potentially be exposed to harmful chemicals depending on what businesses your branch has. Pay is not great considering how much physical labor you do as a supply chain associate. The software is completely out of date and hard to use at first. Their are many loopholes within the software, takes a good amount of time to learn and get used to.

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.
