Pros

The discount, that’s about it

Cons

Constant nit picking about your life outside of work Constantly being watched and secretly graded They’ll write you up for things without getting your side of the story They’ll write you up for things everyone else is doing If you don’t fit in they’ll chase you out

Pros

If they didn’t purchase Grain Belt, they would not be known.

Cons

“senior and middle management" - lack all understanding of standard business practice - over sized ego’s that are easily intimidated by their talent - lack of all go to market processes - lack of standard business practices work and what tools are utilized - people drop off like flies since new business took over - family drama within the business - tools needed to do your job are not provided - company expects hourly and salaried employees to come on site whenever they say with zero reimbursments for miles, lodging, food - sales travel is not reimbursed - benefits withheld - Senior leaders have militant temper - Unprofessionalism (bring personal after hour disputes to work) and require employee punishments - wages are less than industry standards - incomplete or non-existent core business documentation - steal work and ideas of others (lower/upper management) - steal work and ideas during interview process - appalling family dynamics (one of the brothers was not even introduced with a name, he was just a son and this was to his face). Other brother left family and company. Boss man hates this brother and the brands he created. A JOKE COMPANY If you are a professional coming with experience from larger corporations (real corporations) you will NOT be happy here. This is ran like a circus and at any given time, the top guy takes off for active military duties (this is his work experience not President of a company)

Pros

Great discounts. You really learn how little they pay for their merchandise and how much they mark it up.

Cons

Asl’s (the mostly men in the white shirts) are pompous jerks. Way too many of them walking around doing nothing. The young ones are the worst. They try and manage departments but really have no clue. Can’t show tattoos either.
