Engaged Employer

A stepping stone company at best. Terrible micro-management by executives. Fear based "leadership". - Territory Sales Manager Continental Battery Systems Employee Review

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.

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.
