Pros

Let me preface this by saying I worked at corporate, I don't know anything about the drivers or warehouse workers. -Salaries are good -Work life balance is good -The people are really nice pretty much across the board although sometimes it can be to a fault.

Cons

The technology is insanely outdated. Literally using software designed a designed a decade before my birth, that is not an exaggeration. People are often hired based on personal relationships, which is not unusual, but then those people don't have to do anything. If you're put to work on a team with someone who went to the right church or something you're going to have to do all of their work. The culture promotes the diffusion of responsibility, so you're not rewarded on doing extra, nor are you punished for not doing anything. The result is an incredible aspiration to mediocrity. Everyone seemed unhappy when I was there. The benefits are pretty terrible. No 401k match, the ESOP program takes a minimum of 9 years to see anything and it's pretty unclear how it even works.

Pros

Current direct manager is experienced with company, but powerless to make changes to effect improvements for the team.

Cons

Cheap, cheap, cheap - mandatory roommates at Nat'l meetings. Unprofessional, no training for development or advancement (or potential for advancement). Corporate cop out - employee owns 100% of "trying" to get help. Sr. Mgmt. not in touch w/ field sales (never done the job). Promotions are not based on job success, accomplishments, loyalty, responsibility or length of service. Not in line w/ comparative jobs for Account Mgrs: no car allowance, no company cell phone, working from home, flex time or pay. Poor and worsening Health Benefits. Work/Life Balance out of alignment - private Christian employee owned company preaches family first, but expects work first at the expense of everything else. Expected (mandatory) night, holiday and weekend work or on call. ESOP only good if you've been there 20+ years. Salary approx. 60% of equivalent Act Mgr. jobs, bonus structure not on par. Poor support and follow-through from corporate to the field. Vague outlook on the future of the company with current acquisitions and potential sell out.
