A stepping stone company at best. Terrible micro-management by executives. Fear based "leadership".

Territory sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company vehicle. Free coffee at branch.

Cons

For sales people, salary is not competitive, and commission structure is atrocious and not in line or even close with other businesses/industry. Health insurance and "wellness plan" of the company are laughable. Salespeople paid low flat rate commission on only new customers for one year, and nothing for all the existing customers you visit. The last sad thing I'll say is one of the company motto's is taking care of its people.....sadly they don't and will do almost anything to keep an extra buck at corporate.

Continental Battery Systems Response

Thank you for the input. I am still scratching my head on the title of this post. While any US company is free to identify with a religion, Battery Systems has not done so, nor has it published a Christ-centered agenda. I suppose that if it were to move to identify so, one would hope the affect would be a correlating absence of the cons that you are noting, so thank you for the suggestion. :) It is true that the e-commerce call center was moved off-shore in order to recover profitability in this narrow-margin sector. And while that strategy was not pleasant for everyone (the two people affected), it functioned well to stabilize this sector and provide a platform to grow from, which has been successful. Sometimes tactics must change to get to a working solution, and I am sorry that your experience was not stellar. As we discussed during the exit process, I wish you the best in your new position, and hope that you are enjoying success and passion in your work here in the US. Todd Scott Director of HR
