Pros

A Very Exciting Staff. Very Professional Atmosphere and Highly Motivated workforce. A lot of potential for earnings. Training is very good along with hands on training for new individuals wanting to be set up for success.

Cons

Low Base pay for Experienced professionals. Mistakes always made on deals and commissions. Always excuses from management and a song and dance given to appease you . Senior or experienced sales representatives should not be (Micro- Managed). IPad or Kindle given but (Tracks your every move). Management likes to find ways to intimidate all sales team. Meetings are way to long and you have to pay a garage fee of $6 to $10 each time you go ( 4 times a week at least) no reimbursement for this and your fuel.

Pros

The location and compensation were adequate. The medical benefits were excellent. The training as a mechanic and heavy equipment operating experience were beneficial. Safety is a value.

Cons

The Company policies in dealing with union employees in times of reduction in force is unconscionable and corrupt. The policies and procedures for plant operation are vague.
