Pros

-Weekends off -Nights at home -Insurance and Benefits -Meet a lot of people -Great company to teach you time management -Stepping stone for better opportunities

Cons

-Spread too thin, Too many jobs for a 2.5 man crew to take care of. Had to do: Sales, Collections, Deliveries, Inventory Management at customers facilities, Customer walk-ins, Phones, Emails, Weekly reports, Stock, Inventory, Cleaning, packing orders, Packing for Vending, Purchasing, Safety checks, Maintaining the building, Maintain vehicles. List could continue -If something was broke in the store, we wouldn't get approval to fix these issues. Lights were burnt out, No Air condition, Fork truck needed repairs. -Goals are too far out of reach. Vending, Actives, Sales, FMI, Government, Metalworking, Safety, Bounty........ -Salary, so all those extra hours are unpaid. -Repetitive trainings that are more that 3 hours away sometimes 6-8 hours away -Unpleasant emails daily from DM and RVP. -Changing the structure on the commission payout. -Not much advancement after GM. -Removed the assistant manager position.
