Pros

Pay is good until it’s not

Cons

No guidance, interaction or support from middle and upper management throughout employment.No true training, will send you to corporate office for 2 weeks and turn you loose- no real training unless you think videos from 1980 on product is training. Will have you work 50 plus hours, then all the sudden you aren’t doing your job and you are let go 11-1/2 months into a year where significant portion of compensation is in a bonus and with no warning or write up on record then they let you go and hold your almost 6 figure bonus because they don’t typically pay these out if year end isn’t complete. Completely shady group they will sell you on a Midwest valve company with work life balance- don’t let them fool you.

Pros

Decent atmosphere. Not much guidance or help from upper management.

Cons

Surpassed first year's goal by 2.5x and was a superstar. The next year was much slower for several of the company's locations. They fired the outside salesmen at a location 2 hours from us. The next week they came in and fired all outside salesmen at our location including myself. We had a two-week old baby girl as well so that always helps the stress level. Anyway, thanks again SPEC for educating me about corporate America greed.

Unprofessional and Harassment

Pros

It's a growing company. Pay is not bad but comparable to the work hours it is not worth the great salary.

Cons

The company is very unprofessional. They expect you to work 65 hours a week. Seriously! It is challenging to work in a position and not have any training and then someone talking very unprofessional to you. It is challenging when you see the management or owners play favorites. You have to be careful as there can be unwelcome personal advances if you are not careful.
