OK on the outside, but rotting from the inside.

Pros

Decent enough pay. Could definitely be higher considering the workload. Pretty good benefits for employee, spouse/domestic partner, and children. Hours are convenient. Employee discount is really good if you need to buy tools for yourself or family. Company-provided uniforms Company reimburses quickly for supplies or expenses Discounts on other TTI brands

Cons

Managers have no clue. Many are stuck in the "good old days" and can't seem to adapt. Company is out of touch with employees at the ground level, especially manufacturing, central repair, and the branches. They send down demands with no idea what is going on below them. Company overall seems to be constantly putting out fires while simultaneously trying to find an identity. Company is full of veteran employees that have drank gallons upon gallons of the kool-aid, but things changed, and now they're just grumpy old bullies that will eventually leave. Mostly discriminatory. Many assumptions are made regarding age, religion, skin color, sexual orientation - all of which is totally unnecessary in today's culture.

Pros

American company that still makes a few of their products in the U.S. World Class consultative sales training Make your own schedule Free truck and tools Expense account Fast growing company, so lots of upward mobility

Cons

Extremely corporate setup Really have to drink the Cool-Aid Outside Sales, so not much interaction with co-workers Lots of work for a small base salary that is not adjusted for regional cost of living -same position in Cleveland, Ohio makes the same salary as someone in San Francisco, CA Lots of windshield time
