Cons
*READ FULL REVIEW PLEASE* During my tenure of slightly over two years at the company, I contributed to the growth of the first aid division, which was struggling to keep TM positions filled. My sales manager, who held progressive roles from Territory Manager to Sales Manager and Regional Sales Manager, oversaw at least four territories across Tennessee and Kentucky. Due to the shortage of personnel, sales managers were required to manage territories without receiving commissions, resulting in limited time for comprehensive training. I was thrust into the role with minimal guidance, although my initial SM provided exceptional leadership. Approximately eight months into my tenure, the substantial growth of my territory lead to the division of my territory and hire of 2nd TM. Despite encountering numerous difficulties during the company's expansion, I believed in my value as an employee and remained committed to the organization. Approximately 18 months into my tenure they created a new SM position due to territory growth . Despite my lack of formal training for this role, the newly transferred SM had high expectations and limited tolerance for questions. It is worth noting that during our initial joint ride-along, they mentioned having successfully terminated a former team member (TM) who had reported the SM to Human Resources. During this period, the new fiscal year brought about a more than doubled increase in revenue goals for all first aid TMs (from $13k to almost $30k.. Without adequate support from the Sales Manager or Regional Sales Manager, it took two months to catch up to this change which also meant no $300 monthly bonus. A substantial percentage of TMs were also unable to meet this revised goal, but there was still frequent questioning of my commitment to the company. Towards the conclusion of my tenure with the organization, my former SM informed me that "there is someone who wants you gone". Within 5 mins of the first ever email 'summarizing' a troubling phone w/ the later SM, I was on a zoom with SM & RSM letting me know they were opening an HR investigation on me. This HR investigation had a copious amount of "violations" going back 7 months, starting at the beginning of new SM position here. Small things that were never brought to my attention at the time as being an issue so I couldn't remember the circumstances for the call with HR. Along with invoice GPS locations being submitted at next stops or home because GPS location hadn't updated (I paid my personal phone GPS app to provide my locations going back 30 days but that was 'Irrelevant and not evidence enough), a gas card used on a Sunday (I remembered after HR call that it was because they had to replace my card and SM told me to fill up van to verify the card worked before work week). I would like to note that this HR investigation came out of the blue over a month after I was given a warning and told was made to feel secure in my position with a few contingencies like taking pictures before and after each cabinet I serviced. 2 days after this HR phone call I was let go from the company. Which yes, was upsetting but to be honest, more a relief than anything due to the constant stress and threats of insecurity. HOWEVER: When it came time for my commission check to come for the entire last month I worked earning almost $30k in revenue (which is MOST of your salary) they refused to pay me because they let me go THE DAY BEFORE THE FISCAL MONTH ENDED. They stopped emailing me back after telling me I wasn't eligible since I didn't work the entire month. If I had been aware that I was working for $13/h for entire month I could have looked for a job sooner. I wouldn't have lost my house, being the sole earner in my family, I wouldn't have had to go into debt trying to pay bills for a house I would end up loosing. This company DOES NOT care about you. I was loyal to this company during a very difficult growth period where turnover was incredibly high, when they doubled everyone's goals and many TMs left, but when it came to paying the commission I rightfully earned, they disposed of me when it was most profitable for them.
