Pros

Good benefits, profit sharing, company stock, good employees to work with.

Cons

Will work you to death, little appreciation, back stabbing management, low salary (you will have to fight or threaten to leave for any raise you get). Many mandatory hours wasted on meaningless training, instead of selling and customer service. If you're in sales, expect to never make budget, or work your tail off nights, weekends and on your vacation time. They preach family values, employee ownership, a beloved company, but they don't practice what they preach anymore: the bottom line is much more important than the employee, and they will let you know that.

Brutal work environment in extreme weather but that's any warehouse job for the most part. You got talked to for actually using your sick time.

Pros

Industry Leader, great customer base, solid manufacturer partners, profit sharing

Cons

Low wages relative to the industry. Because of profit sharing, most employees were underpaid for the work they did. One could retire with a nice total $ in profit sharing, but monthly pay was not competitive.
