Nice customers, good roduct and lousy management.

Pros

Product is easy to sell and most custmers, if treated well, are fun to see on a weekly basis.

Cons

Too much focus on numbers and no real focus on the customer. If the shelves are full and the displays are built and everyone is happy except the DSL or ZSL because you didn't hit their magic number. Plus, management doesn't hold people accountable for doing the basics on the job. They just sit behind their desk and dial for dollars. My advice is not to answer your phone when you know it's them calling. Make them wait cause they aren't ever going to help you out.

Work/Life Balance is a Joke!

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Great name Lots of educational and development opportunities Great pay

Cons

Promotions are not based on what you know but who likes you Requirements for advancement are made clear, but no one sticks to them. Lots of promotion decisions are made behind closed doors. Managers are afraid to give honest feedback. There's a lot of "talk" about supporting work/life balance, but that's all it is - "talk" Expect to work very long hours and almost every weekend just to stay above water
