Pros

Excellent benefits. I worked for a Manager who actually cared about his people. Most of the folks sitting next to you will help you out when ever you need it. They don't have formal training - but your peers do a good job teaching you.

Cons

My manager wasnt the most knoweldgable about SAP. He listened too much to Marketing (who still knows nothing) They started using a screwed up way for charging for freight upsetting customers. Bad Website. Selling parts is easy - Ya gotta make it easy.

Work Life Balance is a Joke

Pros

Company car but don't use to much gas or you will get on the gas list

Cons

60 plus hour work weeks 35K salary Company invades every part of your life. You are judged on how you park your car, how many times you check your mirrors, etc Company takes from you a whole lot more than they are giving. You don't have to look very far to find a better work situation. This company is a joke. They try and brainwash you into thinking they are a great company but the reality is they go through employees like no tomorrow. People don't last long here because of all the stupid requirements. Say good bye to any type of life you once had prior to joining this company. Corporate greed and slave labor is what this company is all about. Do yourself a favor and look elswhere for employment.
