Vantaggi

Using advanced ERP software (CRM, SAP, BW, etc..) to handle complex business transactions. Company has numerous resources to assist sellers (technical support, quotes dept, 1200+ suppliers, sourcing, extensive branch network, etc..). Represent thousands of suppliers and hundreds of thousands of products to a variety of customers. Interaction with (but not limited to) engineers, maintenance professionals, owners, and purchasing agents related to high dollar facilities management projects.

Svantaggi

There are too many yes-men, robotic thinkers, and cubicle mentality managers which leads to high turnover of good employees. Lack of career development and recognition of hard work. Company is over-departmentalized and operate on their own agenda. Internal politics are dangerous and ruin company's reputation. Majority of tenured employees lack enthusiasm. Flavor of the month selling promotions. Upper management focuses on the wrong things, force change, give up on initiatives too quickly, and short-circuit many processes.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
