Pros

Reasonable wages, flexible work options, great people, friendly culture, CEO is available, caring and treats his people as assets. Very straight forward business model. Promotes and develops people from within.

Cons

Lack of organization, process and governance; chaotic decision making process; excessive nepotism which allows personal conflicts to be highly visible and frequently affects results. Longer term employees are very change resistant and tend to dismiss newer people's ideas as inferior or uninformed. High reliance on tribal knowledge and managing by relationships rather than qualifications.

Pros

They paid for everything when you would travel for business. Other than that there is nothing good about working here.

Cons

Was lied to about average commission earnings that was almost $8000 a year short of estimates, had 5 different direct supervisors in 6 months. Saw financial statements and the branch I worked for was budgeted at -$140k loss every year. No support, training, or accountability. Not enough work for staffing levels. Spent more time playing on my phone than doing actual work. No 401k match either. They use a profit sharing method that may or may not be good depending on how the branch does.

Pros

Good pay, nice location, clean work, easy sales

Cons

Very ignorant people, not fun to get along with, stuffy environment, upper management is very much under qualified to make decisions. Some branches are operated by immature people who should not be in their position. Uneducated boring people that are not interested in employee thoughts even if they are best for business. Think about it, they sell bearings, how exciting can that be???
