Great but Not Really

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, really like the local people. It had so much potential...

Cons

Processes and systems are slow and monotonous. Every time the company makes an "improvement", one thing gets better, one thing gets worse and something that worked before, now doesn't work at all. It's harder to get a yes, if you get a response at all, from corporate to do the right thing for a customer. It's easier to negotiate and work with a frustrated customer than it is our own people. Customer invoicing is the worst I've ever seen at a company. I've heard many customers say they work with our company because they have too, not because they want too. Training is best compared to being thrown in a swift river to learn how to swim. You have to beg for someone to help or just try to figure it out. Typically, it takes a new hire several days, to more than a week, from the day they start to access any of the company systems. I've even seen some people not receive a computer or email for days after they've started, which means they can't do much as it's all done on the computer. The company buys other companies to grow.

Starts great, gets worse

Pros

Great product. Flexible hours. Good demand for the product

Cons

Micromanagement from hell. Management loves the new “flavor of the month” and gives them portions of your territory as they constantly mix the territories up. They are now shifting towards more of a telemarketing sales approach versus professional inside sales. Management swears up and down they are there to help, but when you ask they don’t lift a finger or even return. Your emails. In 2 years I have seen 4 direct managers, 2 branch managers, and 3 regional managers. Part of me feels like if I can make it through the current regim maybe the job I loved will be back.

Pros

Good hours. Holiday Pay. Some good people.

Cons

Poor commission structure(don't get paid for orders you get). No management(managers are more worried who they will hook up with next rather the work at hand) Extreme lack of structure managers are rarely around. The favoritism shown towards certain individuals with little or no experience nor proven themselves is amazing and sad to see in this large of a company. Systems used do not work properly and go down every week.
