Pros

Paid sick time, 401k, health insurance

Cons

Management will promise you things you’ll never get. Very little formal training. You’ll learn by mistake which will cost you commissions. A lot of senseless paperwork and worthless meetings that take time away from prospecting and cold calling. Interdepartmental fighting for the same dollar. No team atmosphere anywhere within the organization. Serious micro managing by tracking your every move via company cell phone and computer. Most upper management are x- military. Ideas flow in one direction and only one direction, so keep your ideas to yourself. Extremely high sales person turnover at the corporate office in Tampa. Yet, the same management team is still there. The other branches have very low turnover. Gee, I wonder why? When out on the road, don’t expect to get any answers for any of your or your customer questions quickly. Do yourself a favor, look elsewhere! This place is extremely deceiving! During my time there, salespeople that left did not get the commissions they were owed. If you try to get your money You’ll never win against this company that has no conscience and a lot of money to fight back. Good luck and Godspeed!

Terrible Workplace

Pros

It's a job that pays, which is better than being unemployed.

Cons

It's a horrible culture. No transparency, no leadership, constant lies, deceit, backstabbing, and everyone to their own. Anyone new in this organization is positioned for failure from the start, and I've seen it many times. Sales representatives are replaced every 3-6 months. Initial interviews will paint a rosy story about this company, but it doesn't take long before you realized it's a horribly ran organization (or not ran at all). You'll get to see how this company is driven by money as their one and only purpose, without any values or commitment to their employees. The company will make promises that it will not keep, bonuses, sales, compensation is all subject to change based on how you look, if you're a veteran, how nice you are to the staff, and how ruthless you are being as a 'used-car salesman' (selling used forklifts). If you don't make them money at all costs, you will get fired without any hesitation or warning. Get a job here if you need a job, but find something else while you're there.

Pros

The health benefits are ok. The 401k is traditionally 6 percent.

Cons

Poor training Company promotes good work life balance, but exspects a lot of after hour work. Salesman are treated poorly and micromanaging is terrible there. You will have to do a report for everything you do, if you do not like tons of paperwork, this job is not for you. You have to watch all you commission checks closely. If you leave or get let go you better get a lawyer to get your money back.
