      Run Away. Very Hard company to work for. They take pride in saying...."We aren't called StonEASY"

      Pros

      HQ training is strong. Good samples and HQ support upon request.

      Cons

      It's a very difficult product to sell vs. competition because of price and reputation. They've pissed enough people off over the years that competition has the upper hand. My territory is dominated by competing former Stonhard sales reps selling against Stonhard's weaknesses: failed installation, higher price, poor performance, arrogant management. Also, sales people also have to be on-site project managers of installations....while still maintaining the expectation to provide a minimum number of quotes per week. Very Stressful. Stonhard also limits the accounts the reps can call on by industry but is inconsistent in enforcement of them. Very political. Very arrogant leadership not open to field suggestions for improvement. Their response, "We're the best, if you don't believe that, it's YOUR problem....the competition is not as good as us...I don't care what the customers say..."

      Pros

      Stonhard was a good company to work for, they provided very comprehensive training. Once is the field you could rely on corporate resources to help provide customers with valuable add on cleaning products and maintenance services.

      Cons

      With the type of product that Stonhard provided, it was difficult to get added to a list of approved products once the specifications for an RFP were written. Additionally, since Stonhard offered a premium product with a premium price tag it was sometimes difficult to win bids that were predominately price driven without having an inside advocate early on in the selling process.

      Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate the positive note on our corporate training and Stonkleen service. We have recently increased the size of our Business Development Group and allotted more resources in an effort to build more and better relationships with the Architectural and Design communities to be on the list of approved products prior to the RFP, or getting on to the RFP after specifications. Best of luck in your next role.

      Company is environmentally green oriented. They are always donating to needy causes. Raising money for worthy organizations.

      Cons

      Training programs in place due to the 2-3 year learning curve for the sales department positions. Stressful work environment.
