Not a good environment. After being acquired by a German company in 2010, it all went downhill.

Sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefit jpackage and overall comp plan. Outside sales has freedom but you better meet your quota. You will be put on action plan if you don't hit a very unrealistic quota that upper management does not share until far into the quarter. They are ALWAYS late paying quarterly commissions.

Cons

Bad management from afar and very inadequate and antiquated networking, systems and tools.

Warehouse lead

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

somewhat decent hourly pay for people in lower leadership and not close enough to be decent but manageble hourly pay for associates. Overtime if you like that

Cons

- never see you families/partners again - company over camaraderie -mental and physical health are not prioritised and not important over the customer/client contract -Management treats you like a number instead of a human being - not allowed to speak out against inhumane conditions or mistreatment - corporate HR has been compromised and doesnt care about your well being - Exempt employees (salary paid) are REQUIRED to work overtime without any compensation. (working 30+ hours outside of regular 40 hours) -Administrative office personnel and in-house HR (P&O) treat warehouse employees like lower class uneducated subhumans or worse than dirt. - Consequences if you report Administrative personnel, management, or leadership for sexual harassment or assault
