Pros

Fast promotion if you will work work work... and relocate. Company is pretty good at trying to get people to relocate. The Lumber Camp and Blue print training are decent.

Cons

Manager trainee program is a farce, bonuses are an even bigger joke. Was there for 5 months never saw one. The manager training that I received had very little emphasis on leadership development and I see this as a very big problem in the company as a whole. The main focus is that they want every employee in retail to be a cheesy grease ball type salesmen using cold calling and the whole works... very little effort into customer satisfaction. Funny enough we had a lot of unhappy customers...
