Overall a pretty good place to work - and financially sets you up for life

Pros

Good, collaborative, employee-ownership culture. Base pay might not be the best, but sales commissions, incentives, profit sharing, stock dividends more than make up for it. You can be set for life financially if you work hard and put in a few years. This is truly a company that can be great if you have the right attitude and make the best of it. No company is perfect, but this one is pretty good. Complainers will always find something to complain about and we definitely have some working here.

Cons

Not many cons. If anything, Corp puts out some weird mandates as it pertains to headcount, and it would be best if Corp gave more autonomy to the Districts. District leadership is generally pretty solid. Corp involvement often tends to mess things up.
