Pros

W/S sells to a wide variety of industries and has plenty of potential customers. They also have very little competition.

Cons

W/S management from Area Manager to Executive seem to be blind as to how hard employees work at the Branch level. The business from coast to coast is kept alive by business shortcuts. Employee business expenses are rarely paid, sub contractors are always shorted payment, vendors normally don't come back because they were not paid and no new equipment ever unless you are National Accounts. Coast to coast the normal practice of hiring was to employ 2 people when 4 - 5 were needed to do the job safely. I didn't know a Service Manager in the company who was compensated well enough to deal with the amount of stress they had to take on.

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.
