Pros
LP is always looking to improve products/services. For me, this makes my job easier in terms of selling. I tell my prospects/clients about the new updates rolling out and what we're doing about them. When your company strives to have the best product in the business, makes it easier to sell.
Our process, pay, and benefits have improved every year I've been here. I can tell you from experience, if you show up every day improving your craft and work hard, this job and company WILL reward you. I like working in sales at LP because my hard work directly effects my salary. Every year my salary has increased dramatically.
I work with some fantastic co-workers and met lifelong friends. We have a work hard play hard work environment, which is exactly what I was looking for. There's also a ton of organized activities and volunteering events available outside of work. Great way I got to know my fellow employees and upper management when I first started.
Upper management has an open door policy and everyone is respected. I can talk to our VP's and CEO's almost any day of the week. I remember my first week on the sales floor, our CEO introduced himself to me and was genuinely interested who I was. He asked how I liked the job so far and what I liked to do outside of work (we talked about mountain biking for about 15 minutes). I've worked several jobs where I rarely spoke or saw the owners, so this was very important to me.
It's very exciting to be part of a company growing extremely fast due to success. I'm very excited for all the new products and services we're rolling out in the near future!
Cons
No cons. I really like my career at LP and I can't see that changing.
If I had to put a con, it would be related to fast growth. Any company growing at 40% year over year with 500ish employees will have growing pains.
