Pros

Yearly Sales Meeting in Vegas or other City sponsored by Vendors Last person standing or friends of managment get upper level and management positions when people leave so talent is not there and learn by fire training system National Accounts is the whole company for give kickbacks to customers so forced to use HD Supply

Cons

So much neoptism that before any positon is posted or promotion they are making backroom moves and deals to get rid of people Once a year have what is called a Reduction in Force, but technically it is a firing of all those that have write up performance discussions, paid too much, bonus windfalls, and people that don't fit system-- Company does not have plans to help people just want foot soldiers that are yes people that accept how things are. For example sales are based on growth of territory but one does not have control over territory for it is all based on new properties or management takeovers, so hero to zero policy in affect every year with no guarantee of pay or bonuses Only people that stay over there is bc it is easy and pay on average is good but year after year is high and low, rewards steady employee and punishes superstars for expected to grow each year by company standards based on last years numbers
