Pros

Lost of quality equipment! During a period that worked there the pay was awesome! Well recognized brand, lots of customers use them because of familiarity.

Cons

The stores are called Profit Centers..not branches or stores. The only concern of management is profit, even if it is at the cost of a employees or customers. Companies attitude is that there is another customer or employee around the corner. Since I have left I have had several customers call me and tell me that when I left, the companies morals went with me. When you gather for a regional or national meeting, they talk a great game, but when the rubber meets the road it doesn't happen. PCM's (profit center managers) receive profit share and that is about the only thing that most really are really concerned with. Company makes huge profits and boasts a Profit Share Plan, but more and more it doesn't fall through to the employees. Management gets upset when employees leave for other competitors.

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
