Pros

Peer to peer support is top notch, colleagues are always willing to help where they can. TM’s manage their own territory and there is very little micromanaging. Lastly, gas reimbursement is an awesome plus!

Cons

While the company has some strengths, there are several cultural and structural challenges worth noting. Favoritism among management is noticeable, and support tends to flow consistently to only a select few employees. For others, development often depends more on internal politics than on performance or initiative. The environment can also feel overly political, with certain leaders and even peers engaging in gossip that undermines collaboration and trust. This can make day-to-day communication feel more delicate than it should in a professional setting. Additionally, the pay structure provides limited incentive, especially for roles that rely heavily on performance-based outcomes. High expectations are placed on employees, but compensation doesn’t always align in a way that motivates or rewards the level of effort required. I spent quite a while trying to see the good in this company but unfortunately the cultural issues make it challenging for me to feel consistently supported, valued, and empowered to excel.

Pros

COO really values safety and the team is very supportive.

Cons

Like with all supply chain there are a few leadership at the site level that have competing priorities that make it hard for them to put safety as a value into their operations. This falls on the responsibility of the regional vice presidents though to hold them accountable and that rarely happens, especially if sales and other EBDITA are going good.
