Pros

Don't have any at all.

Cons

Super micromanagement. This branch has been set up to fail. First of the year they cut our wages and broke our contract, forcing us to work 8 days on, 6 days off at 12 hours a day. Transport equipment is older and constantly breaking down, severely short on mechanics so the guys on shift have to bust there ass all day to try to meet company demanded goals. Poor moral, everyone will be quitting soon.

Pros

Large company with okay benefits

Cons

Base pay is weak for the convoluted commissions structure they offer. It is not as good as they pitch you. Lower management blindly pushes the corporate message/values (that, in my experience, are not applicable to management) and implement some standards or programs that usually hurt the sales process. You become a blind follower or you don't.
