Pros

Coworkers are mostly kind and usually helpful.

Cons

Summit’s management structure is as bloated and incompetent. If you enjoy being paid the absolute absolute bottom of market value while wrestling with a self insurance plan that feels more like extortion than a benefit, this is the place for you. Good luck supporting your family here unless your kids eat air and your landlord accepts thoughts and prayers. Meanwhile, the sales team operates with complete immunity, chasing razor thin margins that ensure the only "bonus" the rest of us ever see is a company write off pizza party. Summit isn’t a career path, it’s a waiting room for your next job. Expect to be chronically understaffed, aggressively overworked, and relentlessly bullied for "performance" by a six-figure manager who couldn't identify an Excel cell if their life depended on it. Every single department is hemorrhaging: Warehouse: Starving on pathetic comp and choked by insurance premiums. Accounting & HR: Drowning in understaffing, abysmal pay, and bloated leadership that is either completely disassociated from reality or just downright incompetent. General Admin: Ghost town staffing and bottom tier wages. IT: 100% absorbed by the new parent company to escape the misery. The only people doing great? Sales and upper management. They remain entirely unbothered by the operational hurdles they so graciously manufacture, ruling the office with the fragile ethics and backward economics of a middle school playground.

Pros

It's a job. Some of the people are nice.

Cons

Greedy Company A was acquired by Bigger, Greedier Company B. The press release called it a “strategic partnership.” Employees call it a pay cut with extra steps. We’re required to attend company wide meetings where leadership congratulates itself for exceeding goals and reassuring the new parent company that everything is “on track.” These celebrations conclude with a fiifty cent hourly raise...for the entire year. Not a bonus. Not a joke. Fifty cents. A reminder of exactly what our labor is worth here. Shortly after, the company replaced our benefits with the cheapest self-insured plan they could legally offer. Premiums run close to four figures. Coverage is largely theoretical. Claims are denied, bills are passed on, and suddenly full time employment comes with the risk of going into debt for the privilege of showing up. If you make under $120k and want a family, understand this clearly: this company will not support you. You will subsidize its profits with your health, your savings, or government assistance, sometimes all three. Senior leadership will remain unaffected. This didn’t happen overnight. Summit didn’t always operate like this. It chose to. It chose optics over people, margins over sustainability, and silence over accountability.
