"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!
