Pros

Everyday there is a different and new problem to solve. You will not be bored. The company as a whole does well consistently. Layoffs are not an issue as they use attrition when business slows. They do many things well and there are also many areas they could improve in, so you stay busy solving problems that improve the business.

Cons

The business is selling and distributing industrial supplies which isn't the most exciting line of work. Personally i find it very interesting, but that may not apply to everyone. Depending what area you work in your experience with the company may vary.
