Pros

One of the biggest distributors, recognized name, great hours, paid time off, they will hire anybody who is willing to

Cons

Extremely low paying working for any competitor will pay almost double from start, company car costs are astronomical, very little support in regards to training new reps, every man for themselves mentality, current CEO has got rid of pension for new employees and is cutting good employees to show an end of year profit

Pros

Not many, people are stuck because of pension program.

Cons

Very old school- No phones, no talking, against change. Managers have been doing job for 30+ years and do not want a new point of view. Very little opportunity to move up Most people have been in current position 15-20 years wanting to move up so if you are there 3-5 years you have to get in line behind 4-5 people with double experience. And then the still hire someone from outside company. if you are there 10+ years unhappy why leave and give up your retirement and they know it.
