Pros

Overall, the company has a great vision and desire to lead their people well.

Cons

I would advise anyone doing research on this company and hoping to join as an external hire to stay completely away from the Mid Atlantic region within Fluid Solutions. Leadership within this region goes completely against what the company stands for. This district is led by a worthless politician at best. He tells you what you want to hear and will not support you or your operations whatsoever. He operates dishonestly and puts you in situations to do things that he knows are completely against company policy. The company should really investigate this district with a microscope and create a safe place for the employees within this district to speak honestly about how things are run.
