Pros

The product is the best and most secure storage containers in the industry, with the tricam locking system. The various sizes and styles fit virtually any need. The training is getting better. They seem to be getting a bit more up to date with technology and using less paper with thier contracts.

Cons

Don't turn your back on them, they will lay you off in a heartbeat. Constantly changing policies and procedures. They start new procedures before they really try them out. So of course the employees have to work 10 times harder to work the bugs out. The pay is really low if you are trying to support a family. The bonus and commission structure is very low unless your the only sales person in that branch. The National Sales Center will eventually (soon) eliminate the need for any sales people at local branches. Everything is pointing to that and it is inevitable.

Pros

Business is not complex operation and employees are very congenial. Enjoyed working with all the other staff and line managers. Very much like a family environment.

Cons

Problem is the family environment--pretty much controlled by the Bunger family with most of the executive level positions going to those related to the CEO in some manner. Several VP's wouldn't get a second look as managers in a real company and they know it. My only real reason to leave the company was because of limited advancement opportunity and low pay.

Pros

You don't really have to learn your product or your customers to any great depth - just learn how to work the system and meet your monthly report card metrics.

Cons

Glued to desk for data entry and phone time to meet metrics of monthly performance report card.
