Avantages
Absolutely loved the local staff at my branch I worked with. Pay was great. Work life balance is good. Opportunity to do remote work 2 days out of the week. If I only had to deal with my local coworkers and not corporate there’s a good chance I’d still be there.
Inconvénients
Health insurance is not great. A lot of disparity between the corporate office and the branches. When they need something it has to be done right now but getting them to do something without following up 3-4 times is nearly impossible. Very frustrating as they seem to want to centralize and run a lot of the purchasing and decision making through corporate but it was can take days to get responses and you almost always have to follow up again to get an answer. If you are experienced in the building materials industry, be advised that most of the ELT do not have a lumber background.
