Zones reviews

Little to no career advancement. Debuted Inside/Out model, pairing Field & Inside reps early 2017 with no clear playbook or definitive strategy with undefined roles/responsibilities, only to change compensation package 3 times - retroactively this Winter/Spring. Resources are overworked and underwhelm with turn around time and help. Managers are hit or miss. Field & Inside managers bicker back & forth to no resolve, strategy or tact. HR is not present when you need them, nor do they genuinely listen when they ask how the workplace can improve. The Auburn location is stiff/corporate and the Portland office governs with tenured managers that are not leaders. They've said things are only getting better for about 3-years now. Too many VP's behind a screen micromanaging.

I was once a very enthusiastic employee there at Zones. I worked there for years and only had a salary raise of a equivalent of $2.50 an hour since beginning there regardless of my increased responsibility and work effort. This goes across the board in sales and support positions. I have seen some really great people leave on the low rate of pay alone. Zones prides themselves on being a business that values diversity but if you glance at leadership you will see otherwise. Only one woman is at the top ranks of the organization and she seems to have reached her glass ceiling. Without my colleagues, I would have left sooner than I did. This is a thankless job with no reward for extra effort; the message sent back is always DO MORE. Not good job. They praise leadership on the backs of those who actually worked to produce those results.
