Pros

Alot of flexibility in terms of your career path. People from HQ are nice, helpful and freindly. I am extremely upset when I need to make a decision to choose other company over SRS.

Cons

For the first job, I didn't know better, so I thought what my branch provided were normal, but after years of business experience, I understood how "mess-up" the branch was. Depend on what branch you are assigned to, you may have the supervisor who is extremely underqualified, super arrogant and super disrespectful. I had to wait over 3 months before I finally realize it's way over the line and report to upper/senior management. -Unnecessary long hours ( this include non-value added work) (Have you ever watch The Office? that's the efficiency I am talking about. Basically need only 1~2 hours of actual work, but still be expect to stay for more than 12 hours) This is why I eventually gave up and fool around as well as I need to kill time. -Many business strategy ideas will not be accepted (the answer I constantly got is "I have been here 4 years and you have been here 4 months. so... just listen to me" ) After countless of tries, at one point I gave up on making the branch better. -Extremely unprofessional work area (curse word, F-bomb, verbal assault... you name it, flying everywhere) (Some are jokes, but some are intentional) -Extremely unorganized place. Not just in term of hygine, I am talking about business structure. (Inventory fulfillment, inventory entitlement, scheduling, forecasting, inventory cycle count, sales strategy.... ) There are so many that I don't even want to list all of them out here. Again, this is just one branch experience, I have been to a different branch and that particular branch is efficient, profitable, well organized, P&L driven.... So good luck, it really depends on which branch you get to.

Pros

The building is nice. Fridays are remote days.

Cons

The environment is call center! 2 people are delegated on certain days to answer the phones everyday! No cubicles, open floor call center environment. This is NOT full cycle Ap. Issues with invoices, po’s, remits etc are streamlined through a ticketing system. Training is 2 weeks+ ALOT of information alot of analytical processing for very low compensation. Be prepared for management to have your peers to tell you what to do instead of it coming from her (creating a toxic environment).
