Pros

Flexibility - I can arrive when I need to and leave when I need to so long as I put in at least 45-50 hours. Encourages feed back even if slow to act on the big stuff. Fairly fun atmosphere (but no cool Seattle-esq perks.) Free food once a month. Growing quickly so there's room to advance.

Cons

Harbor is quick to extol the fact that they are a family company... but the "family" is so insular, if you aren't an Erickson, you're not really family. The size of the company no longer fits those shoes. There is too much emphasis on using/over using current staff and not wanting to spend $ to hire enough employees to take the burden off the current ones. 6 day weeks are COMMON. Taking shorter days to compensate for long weeks or late nights is very frowned upon.

Pros

A lot of free samples sent to me. The sales meetings were paid for by the company. I had great customers. I could start my day at my home office and hit the road by 9am. Most days I was back home by 4:30 pm.

Cons

Micromanaging from the local Director of Sales. The company likes to change the software on a whim and expect you to learn it with little training. Was told I had to learn 5 different apps that gave the same information and was difficult to manage. When I converted to commission included pay, I was told I didn't have a choice and lost approx. $1000 a month, even though I stepped up my selling. Then they took the $0.70/mile reimbursement away and put us on Motus, where I lost another $1200/month.
