Pros

Atmosphere in the store locations and warehouses are friendly.

Cons

Corporate management doesn't know which way is up. The marketing and IT departments are the size of a company 5 times their size eating up tons of profits. Management does not take complaints seriously even when they involve harassment or discrimination. The entire company runs on a good 'ol boy mentality. They won't hire a male receptionist because it's a woman's job. You can't be too pretty though or you will be a distraction for their sales staff. If you do want to work here, be a part of the sales training program. They are treated like gold while the rest of the warehouse workers are completely disregarded. They take your initial personality test as the bible and you may not be considered for other positions or promotions if you have the "wrong" personality type.

Pros

Summit feels like a solid company to work for long-term. I enjoy what I do, for the most part, and enjoy most of the people I am around most of the time.

Cons

Management is completely out of the loop when it comes to the "little guys". They say they want all Summit employees to have a voice, but they don't really mean it. Rules are made but not followed. A new president has come in, but so far I am not impressed. He seems to be concerned with just a few areas of the company without realizing that all departments work together in a circle, and when we don't work together, we are never going to be as profitable as we could be.

Oh so many things wrong…

Pros

Never an issue with the paycheck. I did meet a few really great people.

Cons

Summit is a company that makes rules and guidelines, but then will let it go when an “important” employee has a hissy fit and doesn’t want to comply. Long time employees in some departments barely earn enough money to pay the bills, while others receive not only a high salary, but tons of perks as well. Summit treats some associates like dogs, with supervisors saying “I can only do so much”. Summit will suck the life out of you, and you won’t even realize it until you’re gone.
