Pros

Working with Contractors is nice. Having the use of all needed equipment, ie Truck, Laptop, Phone, Gas Card, Credit Card makes the success of this possition possible.

Cons

Mangers are very disrespectfull towards outside sales. Considered expendable. Put huge, unatainable goals upon you each month. Expected to do alot that does not get paid for, such as running deliveries in order to get your product out in a reasonable timeframe.

Pros

Largest in the industry, Lots of availability to move while staying at the company.

Cons

Experiences can vary wildly from branch to branch. Generally understaffed for expected business growth on logistical side. In my experience mid and upper management will not return phone calls unless emergency. Definately have to watch your back, they will let people go very quickly.

Pros

Experienced, strong leaders Vision for the future Truly believes in partnership with customers, not just supplier/purchaser relationships Encourages leaders to recognize and develop talent

Cons

There aren't many cons for me. I've experienced dramatic swings in the economic situation, and those fluctuations have taken us from one extreme to another, with risks at both ends. A couple years ago, we had hiring freezes, layoffs, consolidations, etc and now we're growing fast that it's difficult to maintain a high level of service without the infrastructure supporting current activities.
