      Pros

      A lot of heart in this company, Work from home ability along with a lot of faith and trust from upper management. Great pay and great co-workers. My direct C level is one of the best I have ever worked for and I have great respect for him. The company is really striving to move into the modern age with technology improvements.

      Cons

      This company has been cut to the bone from the housing crisis and seems to be struggling to find its feet with the recovery. Sales tactics are very outdated and seem to the biggest issue for this companies recovery. Leadership keeps making changes to try and bring this company around but nothing seems to move the needle.

      Thanks for your note. Love your comment regarding "lots of heart", I completely agree. Happy to also hear that your executive leader is one of the best you have worked for. In meantime, as you mentioned, we remain focused on new sales excellence initiatives and are looking forward to seeing the progress and results and then responding accordingly. Otherwise, to your point, we continue to relentlessly pursue continuous improvement!

      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.
