      Most frugal company in America and it is reflected in all aspects of the job

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You will be paid a paycheck You will learn how to sell in a territory You are on your own most of the time

      Cons

      Pay is extremely low If you sell a giant bin stock of fasteners, guess who's putting it all together and delivering it? You, the sales guy! Guess who's making the collection calls? You! The sales guy! Guess who's cleaning the stores bathrooms? You! The sales guy! Guess who will be doing 1000 other things besides actually selling, and then asked why your numbers are so low? You of course! The sales guy! Guess who will be counting the stores inventory every month for cycle counts? You! The sales guy! It's not really a sales job. It's more like they throw a business at you and say "here, run it" You're supposed to feel honored that you work for a company with "decentralized" decision making when in reality all of the decisions are made up already and you simply are supposed to follow them.

      A REVIEW

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work life balance, Monday through Friday job, no nights or weekends

      Cons

      Not having proper heat or cooling system for the store fronts; low pay. If you are a woman, specific districts do not promote. You being experienced means you work harder for the same pay, while making everyone else look good.

      delivery driver underpaid and overworked

      Route delivery driver
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      predictable schedule, routes stay the same. Nice trucks, not a 10 year old truck with a million miles on it, in the fleet. They take care of their equipment. They deliver their own product to their own stores, no third party contract here (yet) . Vacations can be split up, we didn't have to take an entire week off when we only needed a couple days off.

      Cons

      PAY, a monthly salary for a truck driver is rediculous, most salaries are based on a 40 hour a week job, and we all know drivers work in excess of 50-70 hours a week. Management won't hear out complaints, it's the old see no evil hear no evil at this place.
