Vantaggi
Brand name products Vinyl Aluminum, mostly well established territory, routes and history. Succeed where all have failed possibilites. Known competitors, some competent cheap insales employees. Will work their heart out if you show moderate interestor consideration. Great for people who love to comply to authority, constant change of plan and thrive on internal politics office instability. Upper management will constantly keep you on your toes and push. Superb job if you appreciate being original on budget planning projections reports, as you will be required to perform 4x a year; along with quartely buisness plan of action. National sales managment is very perfectionist in their requierment of on field informations. Superb entry level job where alot can be learned quikly before you move on to better and more profitable grounds.
Svantaggi
All decisions, every penny spent needs to be authorised by uper managment. World class micromanagement. No sales direction or plan, shot from the hip reactive approach and poor communication. Weekly sales call with no clear message, plus value or motivational purpose. Lead by tyrany and confusion where apparently profit is to be made. Champions for employee turn over at all levels (sales, support, shipping, marketing), expect to be a senior fast if you can manage constant stress level and defend your actions daily (Week-ends, Hollydays, Vacations, etc.) make sure you negoctiate base salary high, any bonus promisses possibilites will not be respected. Vehicules are cheaply maintained, expect winter tires year around. Have not shown appreciation of human value or experience. Managed as if still in the 60's
