Pros

Great people to work with from middle managers down to the field. Compensation is good and benefits are excellent. Good foundation for cpg sales expereince.

Cons

Work 80 hours per week and it's still not enough. The pay for performance culture based on 1/2 metrics and 1/2 core values. You can make all your metrics but if executive management thinks you may have a bad attitude - don't be expecting a annual bonus. Based on the last 2 or 3 corporate restructures, the facts are that they do discriminate based on age. The majority of new hires are all in their 20s, the majority of promotions are all employees under 40.

Pros

Company car and free gas

Cons

1. The managerial style of the district manager in Seattle is extremely petty, his reviews make no sense whatsoever, and there is a rampant culture of favoritism going on in his district. 2. The insistence on doing “work withs” for a person with high functioning Autism was absolute torture. Even though reasonable accommodations were requested by me, none were given. 3. The district manager also referred to me as in proper nouns that were derogatory and EXTREMELY offensive to someone with Autism numerous times. 4. The payout of bonuses were also extremely infrequent, even though I qualified for them. 5. Finally during the interview process, one of the biggest selling points that was made to me was a promise of a work life balance with “exemplary pay.” Neither of which came to fruition.
