Pros

You will learn alot working this much, and this hard.

Cons

Uh, where to begin... I'm certain the other positive reviews of this place are fake knowing the VP of marketing and his tactics. The company leadership is unethical, leading through lies and deception. You will be sold on the idea of being a manager or some other title as the company grows, but that will never come. If it does come, the pay raise will be minimal or non-existant. I've personally seen people demote themselves back to old roles due to the poor compensation that comes with the added stress and responsibilities of a promotion. You will also be expected to work 60 hours minimum on a salary from top to bottom in this organization. The turn over is also very high, so your friends and coworkers will come and go very quickly.

Pros

Branch employees care about the mission. The safety industry is by definition a noble undertaking.

Cons

No real commitment to employees and/or customers by the leadership of the organization. Mistrust throughout. The organization exists to sell to Cintas or some other large company that will eventually take it over and chew up whatever is left when they do. Owners of any business being approached to sell to this company should be very cautious. If you do not care about your legacy or how your employees and/or customers will be treated after you sell your business this is probably the best place for you to sell your business too. If you do care about those things, look elsewhere. This team exemplifies all the bad things you hear about Private Equity.
