Pros

Great compensation and focus on safety. Industry leader is safety and technology. There is a the opportunity for advancement in a number of fields and also the company invest in being a industry leader. Company Car and high salary plus bonus.

Cons

Too much of a "good ol boy" culture. Company makes attempts to become diversified but it is truly a lacking point. Union labor tends to be negative and older managements will cater to them in fear of retaliation sometimes. Often felt like an outsider where a few documented race based incidents reported to HR along with claims of ageism. Always felt like i was being watched by middle management and older labor who told me themselves that where moved to my location to watch over development. Hiring additional labor always seemed to move slow and it was frowned upon to look outside out district for help or resources. If you did the possibility of being scolded was real. High stress constant environment seems to wear everyone thin from the top down and it always trickles.

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
