Pros

steady employment and ok benefits. great IT and internal crm & sales pro apps

Cons

profit share & commission plans are pathetic compared to what they used to be - both are now "fine tuned" to ensure your overall pay will fit nicely into a specific range that is predetermined. the days of a "barn burner" profit share or commission check are long gone. if you make too much money, you will negate their all important monthly "fall through". they no longer value building customer relationships and are more concerned with the info you log into the CRM. you can be a top revenue performer but if you don't log in the customer information that you worked to learn, you're considered to be not doing your job. they would rather pay several mediocre performers on the cheap than pay one highly compensated top performer - that goes for branch mgrs & sales reps some serious micro management on the RVP level. branch mgrs can no longer make major decisions without approval of the district mgr who has to ask the rvp. There is one RVP that is condescending and rude to the branch mgrs and sales team. not much room for advancement if you're not in the click have to rotate filling in on saturdays. they refuse to close some stores on saturdays despite it being the dead of winter and absolutely zero business. afraid to miss that carpet extractor rental

Pros

company truck, company gas, expense account

Cons

Coercive Non-Competes: Instead of retaining talent through fair pay and competent leadership, management uses overreaching non-compete agreements to trap their workforce. Seeing colleagues like Zane bogged down by these heavy-handed tactics shows a fundamental lack of respect for employees' career mobility. Pervasive Micromanagement: Leadership insists on controlling minor details, bottlenecking progress and alienating competent employees. The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Instead of learning from mistakes, senior leaders consistently double down on poor decisions, driven by an unwillingness to admit fault. The Peter Principle in Action: The executive team suffers from an overinflated sense of their own acumen, which barely masks a fundamental lack of competence. People have clearly been promoted to their level of incompetence.
