Pros

- good salary - there is room for moving up in the company (read the con though) - very well established company in their industry

Cons

- stress - manager mentality Though they are trying to get away from their old view points and company culture that used to dominate their flow; they are still a heavy white male dominated company that promotes and hires less on attribute, and more on a "buddy" system. If you are not well liked on a private level, but are a good employee; you are out of luck! The stress level is so high all the time that it almost does not make any sense. I worked at larger companies before that deal with a lot more than they do, and I have never felt that type of pressure. I know that I am not the only one. It is not warranted as the product is a consumable and there are a lot of employees.

Pros

Flexible with work/home balance My management was amazing Good place to gain experience Professional growth encouraged

Cons

Experience with company can differ depending on management. Sumner is amazing, haven’t heard great things about other branches around the US. Promotions are few and far between, especially if you’re administration. Salaries could be better, especially outside of sales. They preach DEI but the action doesn’t match the words. Once the economy started to get dicey upper management kept a lot of people in the dark on their next moves, then the lay offs started.
