Pros

Nice group of people Hourly wage is decent

Cons

It will take you YEARS to actually be in a position to earn any commissions - this came from other Inside Sales People speaking with me. Very few paid holidays / days off. Only 5 vacation days first year - that's it. Required Saturday's which are not disclosed during interview process as well as "shows" to attend which will take up an entire 12+ hours of your Saturday. Very poorly organized "Training" for new associates in Inside Sales - there really is no training in place, but rather you will spend weeks being bounced around and just told to "sit" side by side with someone doing very little.

Pros

-Lots of great hard working (under appreciated) people -Decent pay for the area -Benefits (I'm only listing this as a pro because it's a good per paycheck price. If you need to use them, there's a high out of pocket cost) -Really fun and interesting job (At least in the department that I was in)

Cons

-Minimal advancement opportunity -Absolute bare minimum raises at best -HR and Senior Management does not take complaints seriously (including behavioral, sexual harassment, leadership complaints) -Many of the jobs that should still be in Exeter, PA are now offshore in India. -Work/Life balance is one of the worst that I have ever seen (I have actually heard of salaried employees being reprimanded for leaving at their scheduled time)

Pros

The work week is great, at least at my location. 4 day workweek with weekends off but I was part time so I had 2 days and had to fight tooth and nail for a 3rd day. Once youre on the road you just do your job and dont have to worry about management until the next day. Plenty of time for yourself on the road, but some routes are extremely long. Discounts on all auto parts/accessories they carry.

Cons

I was promised $14/hr and because of direct deposit and since the company website is EXTREMELY complicated to log on to, it took 4 months before I caught on that I was actually being paid $12. Management does not abide by the company core values, namely RESPECT for others. Upper management turns a blind eye to many problems in the warehouse. In order to save money and labor costs, some routes are combined, making for one extremely long and tedious route which can lead to driver exhaustion i.e. mistakes, accidents etc (ex. Orlando to Miami would be from 4 am, leave the warehouse by 5, arrive in Miami by 9-9:30, route would take 8-9hrs, then a 4 hr drive back to arrive around 11:30-12 AM! just to have the supervisor berate you about why you took so long and basically dangle your job in front of you while bullying you. Incentives and spiffs are promised for completing field surveys with customers, but I was never paid on my surveys, and I completed tons (with the hope of making extra money, which I was promised). You have to fight tooth and nail for your hours, and the supervisor thought it was a funny (he laughed in my face for asking for more hours ON THE ROAD as he handed me a BROOM and ONE HOUR on the clock, mind you he woke me up at 4 to come in on my DAY OFF thinking he needed a driver)
