"Fair and Honest Prices" is in all of their ads. I beg to differ! I also worked for this dysfunctional company & there were many nights that I couldn't sleep because of what the 'big 3' expected of us. We had weekly conference calls & were basically told to buy things as cheaply as possible, or to lump it into one big 'lot' buy. By doing so, the company ended up with a lot of 'free' items.
We were also told that if we didn't comply, that we would be replaced. There was a time when they were bouncing checks (2008 - 2009) including employee checks. The problem was blamed on a vendor they had that held a check, and accounting errors. Low and behold! This seems to be happening again recently! I wonder if they will place the blame on a vendor again?
As a prospective employee or customer, I'd be very nervous when dealing with them. As far as the working conditions go.... The field job does involve travel. I enjoyed that part of the job and have seen many great places. There was no reimbursement for driving to a destination. It could have been 14 hours away and it wouldn't have mattered. We needed to take one for the team! The hours while working were long. Sometimes from 8 AM until 9-10 PM. The harassment from upper management was uncalled for, especially if you were a female. I agree with the above posters comment, and yes there is so much more!
