Pros

The benefits are comprehensive. Good health/dental/vision/life and legal plans. They also utilize spring health for EAP which is easy to use. They have a seller support department to help the sales team. Seller support is a godsend.

Cons

Low pay for the amount of work you’re doing. They expect you to be customer service, sales, project management, and implementation for their VMI and they boast support for these things, but the support is lacking. The VMI team is understaffed, consulting team is knowledgeable but doesn’t want to actually do the nitty gritty parts of their job, and the sourcing team is slow. While they proclaim they are diverse, the account managers seem predominantly white and heterosexual. I have had to listen to a lot of anti-trans rhetoric from coworkers and other sales people during sales meetings. There is a lot of casual bigotry and it’s exhausting. I’ve chosen to stay closeted because of this.
