Business Outlook

Pros

You will receive skills that will make you a better salesperson. Sales skills such as presenting proposals and overcoming objections are taught. Most employees are very friendly and fun to work with.

Cons

I work at KONE in the service department at a branch office. Very few people are given an opportunity for advancement within a branch office. The employee turnover rate is high and most sales people leave before they have reached three years of employment. In my opinion sales people are given unrealistically high sales goals and most sales people leave as a result. I believe that the level of service Kone provides is adversely effected by overloading office and field employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent working relations with mechanics. Truely are sincere and create more than a working repore with the branch personnel. This is a tight knit branch which does care about each other along with the business aspect.

Cons

Massive organization and with recent changes in the economic situation the the inability to grow or move forward personally and professionaly had become limited in the last two years in the branch I was located at.
