Working environment on the rebound

Accounting administrator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very matriarchal environment, family sensitive and progressive management strategies are used at the mid management level. Work is abundant and days go by quickly as this production oriented, fast paced environment services approximately 1300 branches and a number of vendors that do business with those branches.

Cons

Hard work at this level is somewhat under-appreciated. Well meaning management effort does make attempts to increase moral, however the incentives are quiet elementary (perhaps due to budget constraint) and fall short of their intent in the long term.

Business Outlook

Pros

good pay, good beneifits, some great "workers" to work with

Cons

they dont care about you or families, worked my butt off for 6 years, all my evaluations were 4 & 5"s out of possible 5 was on salary and put in between 10 - 18 a day with no compensation or thank you,,, waited til end of day and in 3 mins, says your position has been eliminated " good -bye" due to reduction in force, nevermind what you do for the company it comes down to how much you make. not what you do to earn what you make. they just dont care what happens to you or your family, its all about the mighty $$$$. they let the hard working, honest employees go, and keep the ones that dont cost them much or are in the inner circle

Not a good opportunity

Business Outlook

Pros

learned about plumbing and how to handle stress and the typeof business i do not want to work in. i had a nice cubicle with very nice view of a wall that I was blessed to look at for 10 hours every day.

Cons

Nepotism, Have to be in old boy club, have to drink, no family/work balance unless your family works at location. Generally, the cutomsers are not very nice and really donot care about you. You have to be a kiss butt and give them your whole life. do not ask for a raise - it will not happen. smaller suppliers pay better.
