Pluspunten

Great distribution method which is helpful when you need a product quick.

Minpunten

I recieved basically no mentoring at all, which is one of the main reasons I took the job. I wasn't interested in nuts and bolts, but I think I really could have been if they would have guided me throughout the internship. From what I've seen/heard you do not get paid very well until you are a district manager. There is an increase in pay when you move from outside sales to general manager, but its moving from getting paid very little to average. If you are for sure taking the job and get a say in your location, pick an area that is surrounded by industrial businesses or is known for really high sales because it will be much easier to sell and you can make more money. If you are looking for a professional work environment, this really isn't the job you should consider. You get dirty and sweaty every day and unless you want to stay in the industrial business, you learn somewhat useless information.

Pluspunten

Lots of responsibility. Decentralized company, which can work in your favor.

Minpunten

Pay is low based on competitors. Politics, lots of it. Cost-centers everywhere. Everyone has to make money off the branches: the hub, NA, regions, support, etc. Being a GM is probably one of the hardest jobs. Your job on the lean team is to support NA and the branch. It is hard to fully support both at the same time. It is a balancing act that frequently is blamed on you. Frequently, your coworkers just want to put their name on your work and create problems because of their egos.
