Pros

Good 401K, Company car, free samples

Cons

CRM process driven, you spend more time on your laptop than with customers. No support or real recognition for employees, the bonus is nonexistent or very little. Toxic atmosphere with bad moral, horrible manager that didn't know much and would never commit to anything! Company cars are being taken away.

Thank you for your comments. Sometimes there is a fine line between having the data (CRM) needed to be successful and the ability to get in front of the customer. Some of our sales people have adopted a practice of meeting customers all week and setting aside some time (Friday afternoon for example) to update the CRM so it becomes a routine practice. Essity strives to keep employees engaged and motivated through giving responsibility, expecting accountability, and by involving and empowering employees to support them in their career journey.
