Pros

Great local operation through distribution facility. Excellent product mix. Branch managers and DC managers are top notch.

Cons

Ownership is clueless about appropriate and competitive pay for sales reps. Keep it all at the top. Frat boy mentality allows for mediocre reps to stick around as long as they can pal around. Hard work and sales success are meaningless and not rewarded with pay and accolades appropriately. Drivers were also paid and treated like expendable garbage. That was actually very hard to watch as the best drivers kept leaving for more pay and temp drivers weren't reliable. Health insurance plan was abhorrent and HR was given a better option and didn't pursue it.

Pros

The good thing about working for a family owned business is if the owner makes a decision, there aren't others that have to approve it. Changes can happen quickly if they are desired. The office is very attractive and was just built a couple years ago.

Cons

Where to begin. They get you in the door on salary and talk about benefits and growth, but never happens. Think this is THIRD YEAR no raises or merit increases were given and overtime is expected to be worked for free. Company software is very outdated and has frequent problems.

Pros

IDI is a family owned business that believes business is built on relationships. They believe that with their employees as well. They will support you if you have the patience to deal with some of the BS that's involved with this type of business.

Cons

There are a lot of systems and inefficiencies of systems that are always a work in progress. You can get bogged down in the systems and I think everyone thinks they are quicker than they actually are. It can pull you way of doing what you should be and that is selling in my case. But it is much worse at other places and they're always trying to improve this.
