SCW is all around a good company to work at with great people but you must have a franchise mindset and be willing to challenge the norm to succeed.
Several negative reviews are from people who were young and expecting the company to do for them vs them doing for the company. This is commissioned sales so the better your sales the more money you will make and if you can't figure out how to own your franchise you will not succeed.
People and processes are the companies top strengths
Cons
Growing pains and sales culture inhibits growth
Several changes in the last 12 months had mixed results.
Commissions are not on par with the competition and results in less talented employees and very low retention.
No real sales manager vs multiple process oriented managers

Business Outlook
Pros
SCW has made major improvements in training this year. Also, connecting the teams and growing together. Last year was a bit rough to be fair, but changes have been made that have helped immensely. The group here are amazing and work well together.
Cons
It would be nice to have some 401k matching. Also, if the insurance costs could be less.
Constant room for growth, good commission structure, good insurance benefits.
Cons
Office culture is toxic to an almost unbearable degree due to idle gossip on the sales floor including from management and HR, a lack of communication from management on how to improve if you aren't equipped to figure that out yourself, and very little teamwork to be seen despite peddling a "family" mentality in official meetings. Rapidly increasing positional turnaround within the company leading to overworking in multiple departments.
