Pros

People come first and many opportunities are available. There is a focus on education and career pathing. Good pay and benefits. At least half the growth comes organically which creates opportunity for personal advancement.

Cons

Although the business is in much of the US, currently there are no operating companies in much of the Midwest for people who want to work in that part of the country.

Thank you for your review. We actually do have four operating companies that have a strong presence in the Midwest, including Viking, Brook, Vallen, and Irby. We continue to expand our coverage and footprint, adding new locations in the region creating opportunities for customers and associates interested in careers in sales, operations and many supporting functions. Thank you for the advice! Learning and development is very important to us and we’re always looking for opportunities to invest in our associates. We currently have an eLearning platform, called Training EDU, as well as instructor-led programs related to leadership competency enhancement. We also have partnerships with educational institutions such as The Harvard Business School, Texas A&M, INSEAD and many others to drive associate development.
