Pros

Always produced top quality products. Knew their role in the market and produced industrial grade tools. Company culture was incredible and created a drear work environment.

Cons

Changed sales structure causing several top performers to leave. Not sure what the culture is like today. Have heard they have diversified their go to market strategy.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast paced hard working environment that will, at some point, return the amount of effort you put in back in with managerial responsibilities and leadership oppurtunities.

Cons

Grown far too quickly for it's own good. Understaffed and overworked, the employees are top-rate but seem to lack the understanding that they should push back when management becomes over zealous and erratic in it's decision making.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great team and lots of opportunities for good team-building activities. Good technical supprt (in form of local branch office) and repairs. Well-established in the area and good reputation.

Cons

Management never provided clear guidelines and goals, other than to increase sales. Minimal training - just given a big red truck and told to push the brand. Direct manager seemed too busy to offer one-on-one help.
