Pros

Employee owned with stocks and pension.

Cons

Low salaries and not so great benefits package. Old school mentality. Upper management filled with mostly males that can be discriminatory and chauvinistic.

Pros

The company has great recognition and respect in the industry. Deep roots and influence across the country so mobility is a plus if relocation is desired. Company is great about being transparent, being employee-owned. Workplace culture varies depending on location, mostly positive and welcoming. Benefits are great, stock purchasing options and profit sharing are pretty great.

Cons

Although benefits are great, compensation less than desirable, compared to similar positions in the industry. Upward mobility is a positive but you will most likely have to move cities/states a few times by the time you get to upper management.

Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed our advantages and benefits and our culture of employee ownership while you worked with us. We agree that it's important to get younger generations interested in sales and distribution, and we have been doing so through our summer internship program, college recruiting, and sales centers.

Pros

Job stability although they closed our branch.

Cons

Unorganized, management has no real plan. Lots of politics if you are not management.
