      Pros

      If I could find one - proximity would be only one.

      Cons

      New mgmt changed this company to be a toxic environment. Colleagues throwing others under the bus to save their own skin. Constant upper mgmt playing the blame game to their subordinates, always belittling each other. Starts at the top and just trickles down, like an avalanche engulfing everyone. Best thing was to leave, never looked back, probably got 3-4 life years back after leaving. Really feel bad for those still in the trenches, some day they will see there are other decent companies out there, much, much better.

      Pros

      Not too many. They do provide logo shirts etc.

      Cons

      No clear direction. Local leadership is not honest nor transparent. No annual reviews. Feedback is rare and untimely. The 80/20 business model for customer loyalty is shortsighted and surreptitious. Local GM manipulates quarterly/annual goals and gross margins effecting commissions. High turnover with Territory Managers. Conflicting sales goals and programs. Experience is not valued. Executive leadership is focused exclusively on bottom line. The running joke is instead of "Delivering What Matters" they are "Talking About What Matters". Too many generals and not enough sergeants. Some General Managers profess to be "Servant Leaders" however they are disingenuous. I wouldn't recommend working here unless you really need the job, and then, don't plan on a long and rewarding career.
