Lack of time-off policies, the organizational culture sometimes is under estimated but first of all, the problem is that the managment usually don't pay attention of what the lower level needs.

Pros

they gave me the tools to succeed, good pricing, their own delivery trucks, etc.. My first Manager was very nice and respectful, but he moved onto Brenntag Hdq, then our new Mgr had napoleon complex....

Cons

As I said, Mgmt is different now, from when I worked there. They go through Reps. like water....I guess to keep salaries low. Yrs ago we had a VP of sales that was an idiot and from what I hear things are better now. Making me drive many hours into office in reading for my office day and I had to be there by 8 am and stay until 5!!
