Pros

Great benefits and pay, and also commissions

Cons

Was forced to work remotely and was put into a call center type job when that’s not what I was supposed to be working. Didn’t enjoy the lack of communication with my commercial accounts I had.

Look out for bullying

Pros

Company tries to take care of their employees on the front line. Benefits are decent and plenty of insentives to help out as well,

Cons

The higher up you move in the company you realize that bullying and retaliation is a normal part of the operation. No matter what they say about it and how it is far from their policy it is very much a part of normal standard operating procedures. I had a manger telling me how a vehicle operated and it was completely wrong however in the middle of this meeting I was the one being told I have no clue how a vehicle operates. However this ex-general manager keeps getting promoted and possibly the worse employee of the entire organization. DH is the most unprofessional person with in the operation and now in the area office the last place a person like this should be. I worked in many devisions and areas of this operation and could not take the mental toll this place puts on its people that actually want to make a difference!
