Pros

Weekends off . that's about it

Cons

Horrible commission structure. 4% of whatever you sell. meager benefits package. If you need anything beyond basic healthcare you will pay through the nose. They like to pile tons of work that is well beyond your job description and not compensate you for it . They have managers that are in charge of actually serving as a collection agency and lawyer for all of the various bad accounts . too cheap to hire a dedicated in house team to do this and instead bombard management with these ridiculous task . They are currently involved in a class action lawsuit for not paying their workers for lunch breaks etc. Pay is 16$ per hour to handle hazardous material EMBARRASSING

Continental Battery Systems Response

Hello! We want to first thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We believe that criticism, good or bad, is the only way to grow! You are correct--we do expect a high degree of effort and performance from our employees. We do also believe in matching those efforts with a high level of compensation. What sets us apart is our belief in total compensation. We believe that employees should not just be compensated monetarily, but with specific benefits that promote performance, leadership, and develop the person as a whole. We thank you again for your remarks and aim to grow as a company from them. Best Regards, Todd Scott Director of HR

Pros

Strict no overtime policy resulted in consistent work schedules and work life balance. Gained valuable skills and maintained inventory accuracy with the WMS. Developed strong attention to detail due to the high accuracy needed for the job.

Cons

Denied combined cost of living and performance increase based on a single day of lateness, resulting in a corrective action report. Company handbook specifies that any corrective action prevents receiving either increase. Disconnected corporate structure and poor communication from main office. Branch mostly left unsupervised but held to unclear standards without training. High turnover due to management unwilling to pay living wage, causing difficulty hiring and retaining staff, especially in higher cost areas. Company focus on short-term 'resilience training' shifts the burden of burnout to employees, rather than addressing systemic issues like unlivable wages and profit-driven management practices.
