Snap-on reviews

Lots of hours needed to make a competitive salary, no company car or even much of an expense allowance, Fortune 500 mentality and treatment of employees, little support in the field or with training (in certain jobs)

Micro management, constant report data entry requirements. Age discrimination, sexual discrimination, religious discrimination, racial discrimination, they are all here. No marketing for this division or products. Poor quality control of final products. Customer complaints not dealt with properly. Poor service representation, lack of service personnel to deal with products. After you are hired you find out that they use other channels of distribution in your "protected territory" to undersell products at lower prices and they do not allow you to price match. No co-operation with other divisions of Snap-on. You must use your own vehicle, trailer, home office, computer, cell phone, etc. The only thing they provide is sub-standard training, brochures and business cards. You get a "non-reimbursable expense" check plus commission instead of a salary and are required to cover every single one of your expenses and work as many hours needed to get the job done. Snap-on does not give you a protected territory, they sell competing items through their tool dealers, independent representatives in the same area, and through Advance Auto Parts and Napa Auto parts stores. Unless the equipment is from John Bean you do not get paid, so your territory is not protected. They do not pay a salary, you get an expense account that does not count towards income so it is hard to get a bank loan when you want to buy a home. You are on your own. Your mangers purpose is as follows: 1) Collect your reports and compile them with others to make a report to give to his manager, who then takes those reports and compiles them for his manager. 2)To harass you with threats if you are not making your numbers. They may give you a grace period at first to reach the numbers that are expected of you. If you are good at either brown nosing, or a good enough salesman that you can convince management that things are going to be better, you will be left alone. Low pay, low commission, incompetent upper management, incompetent lower management, poor opportunity to succeed, poor training, no support. Be prepared to spend more than you make in the first 1 to 2 years.
