Vantaggi
You get to fly out to California 4 times a year for meetings. The 1st year you get a decent pay, but then they move you to 100% commission. They do not tell you this during the hiring process, they tell you a base plus commission. You do get a car allowance and cell phone allowance
Svantaggi
-They lie to you about pay. They put you on 100% commission after a year which is usually less than your starting base.
-they assign accounts, their favorites get the best accounts, NOT based on performance. This includes who you cold call on.
-bad management, micro managing, HR had to get involved because upper management didn't care that managers bully their employees.
-a lot of turnover, mainly because people stop making money on 100% commission
-very unorganized
-customer service not helpful, they even tell you in training not to use them
-too much admin work because you have to do what customer service should be doing, not much time to sell
-office people are very very rude. Purchasing, credit, and customer service do not like to help and expect you to do their work for them.
-unprofessional environment, people attack you on emails
-if you have any issues, just quit, don't go to HR, they will handle situation and then push you out
-don't go to upper management either because they also don't care
-no paid vacation, get in trouble (some even fired) for using UNPAID sick days
-you have to ride along once a week with a manager no matter how long you work there
-the VP comes to town and you have to do a ride along with 2-3 people. Accounts get mad at you for bringing them in
-you need an entire room/garage dedicated to samples. They do not tell you this.
-you have to pay for your own samples that your manager makes you order, this adds up to thousands of dollars taken out of your check for some projects
-management will do anything to make the deal, even if that means you do ALL the work and make 0 commission because they give it away at cost
-don't expect to get paid if you quit or get let go.
-training is 3 weeks in California
-very shady company, no morals
