Pros

In it's prime days, the organization used to thrive in it's communities. There were so many great people that worked there and some long lasting relationships that I have taken with me. This goes with some great managers I met along the way as well. Moving to an online ordering/fulfillment system. A decent company for someone looking to get into sales, learn and move on after a couple years.

Kontras

To be as fair as I can be, the list of cons lay with certain middle management district sales managers certain director of sales that just has no clue what professionalism is to national customers or what is actually going on within DSM's. Or just dont care. What I witnessed, watching mass layoffs happen, great people quitting due to terrible managers, and then the outcome thereafter was jaw dropping to say the least. They will entice you by this work from home policy but all the while have you under their thumb hounding you with endless silly reports on excel spread sheets with no CRM and big corporate (must go) events that do next to nothing for your time other than meet and greets with other teams across the USA. There is no such thing as employee engagement improvement, they do nothing about it, I lived it there and heard the same from long tenured employees. This organization is unfortunately stuck in decades old mindset of big corporate mandate now run by the USA machine all forced down the line in management to you the sales rep. Some of it has value, most of it is old hat to seasoned sales people and they don't last long anyway.

Pros

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Kontras

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
