Pros

No Pro's these guys stink.

Cons

They do not want sales people to make any money. They also use a 20 year depreciation cycle to a 50% residual for their assets... I have been doing this a long time and never have i seen a trailer built 20 years ago worth 50% of the original cost... That said, they use this ridiculous calculation to borrow money from banks in the form of an Asset Based Lending agreement... I do not understand why this is not criminal as it is essentially fraudulently misrepresenting the worth of the assets they are borrowing against... It is akin to me borrowing 20K using my car as collateral, but my car is only worth 5k... and they are doing this to the tune of a couple BILLION dollars... House of Cards...

Pros

Once upon a time, I enjoyed it.

Cons

New CEO took over. He’s pretty out of touch. My former colleagues call me and ask me return on a weekly basis still because it’s going poorly for them. They constantly make business decisions that counter organic growth. Probably because the motivator is not organic growth. Sales are treated like call center employees and there’s a ton of hate from the WS/ MM merger that wasn’t dealt with. It is definitely an ivory tower. You’re inside of it or you are not. If you’re liked, you can do whatever you want. As long as it looks like you’re committed to the group. This means that you can’t share a dissenting opinion though. Two of the worst three managers I have ever seen were there. They target individuals who don’t go be them the metrics they want in safety or performance. HR’s goal is to protect the company. Share nothing with them, ever.
