Pros

Really great people to build relationships with. They run a very profitable business in a wide variety of markets. They offer some extended benefits based on your position like a company vehicle. Pretty flexible work schedule (based on position and manager). The ability to travel and go to some cool events.

Cons

Benefits and salary are lacking compared to other companies. Although they are very profitable, they are extremely lean and hesitant to spend money on their employees. No flex schedules or remote work options unless you have been traveling for multiple days at a time or hold very specific job titles.

Pros

It’s easy to sell for a company that has distribution centers everywhere and their own freight trucks. Very vast product line.

Cons

Account specialist/sales positions are required to do their own deliveries and fill all bins, vending and any other items sold which is very time consuming and prevents further sales. No inside sales help to fill orders or purchase inventory. No help lifting, no drivers. They hire managers who have never done any physical labor and have never been out to the field. The managers come and go as they please. The higher ups are worried more about putting extra money in their pockets than the physical well being of their employees. They promise to hire help but never do so. Sales people are horribly overworked and underpaid and they expect you to grow business but there is no way to do so having to do a four man job. I stayed three years too long.
