Pros

Great money when you make plan.

Cons

You need a good balance of sales and office time. It’s not easy to be out in the field selling while needing to download invoices, look up part numbers, assist customers with product the company does not currently stock. Many issues with back orders and cancelled product.

Pros

Salary is good, office is nice

Cons

MSC has a new CEO and several external executive leaders who have joined the organization with a clear vision to transform the business. The people are genuinely good and committed, but many of the company’s systems, distribution processes, and technology are significantly outdated. The company recognizes the need for transformation, which is why it has brought in experienced external leadership. However, there appears to be a gap between the transformation vision and the level of investment required to execute it. Large-scale initiatives often face resource and funding constraints, making it difficult to move at the pace needed
