Pros
-Competitive pay -Awesome insurance options (Aetna and BlueShield) -Competitive 401(k) or IRA contribution matches (up to 6%) -Streamlined support lines, employee benefit enrollment, online paystubs, etc.
Cons
-Hard to move up without the hard years of experience and/or acknowledgement from your boss and your bosses boss -Physically hard at first if you are used to a sedentary lifestyle since the job involves plenty of lifting, warehousing and customer service (carrying paint for customers, mixing the paint quickly so that you can serve the next customer in a timely manner, etc.) -The current computer system sucks hard, and is not straightforward or intuitive in any way. Takes time to learn -The phone system sucks and you learn quickly that with no caller ID, you need to be good at taking notes about orders, questions, comments, etc.
