Worst company I have ever worked for! - Recensione dipendente - Business Development Executive presso TESSCO

Where do I even begin... This company values their pockets more than they do their employees! Since they are a distribution company with a warehouse, they always have to be open! Per their handbook, if there is bad weather, you can take a paid day off. However; that does not stop them from pressuring you to come in even if your safety is at risk. They do offer to put you up in a hotel across the street so you can get into work. Mind you, you are not getting paid extra for the inconvenience and most can't wait to get out of there and have a day off! When they tell you that you will make over six figures, it is no where near realistic for the majority of the people. My biggest advice to you is to speak with the sales people before you accept a job at Tessco. I made the mistake of not asking and once I got on the floor everyone came out and told it like it was. Be prepared to use sales optimizer. The company implemented this system and put this company on a million dollar retainer. It is the biggest waste of time that I have ever encountered. You spend so much time working through this system planning and mapping out opportunities and key players, that it leaves no room to get on the phone and do your job. Be prepared to make presentations in front of the executives on your progress. Also, the sales trainer is a psychiatrist with no field experience in sales. It is all about theories and workbooks with him. Unlike other companies, you clock in and clock out. You have to type into the system when you are away from your desk and in meetings. I felt like I was a 5 year old that was being babysat. Company does not offer anything in the kitchen in regards to plastic utensils, cups, coffee, tea, paper plates. It might not seem like that big of a deal but it's the little things that count. Christmas party for the adults is canceled year over year. It's something that everyone looks forward to and hopes for, then to be let down and told that the company did not do well enough. Mind you, executives and the CEO have no problem taking in high paychecks. People are underpaid as a whole with this company. People work extremely hard for several years and prove themselves and then come to find out new employees in their same position are making twice as much. The paid time off is the worst I have EVER seen in a company. Tessco, you should really show your employees that you actually care. No one feels that you value them. You claim that you do but you don't and it shows! When I had my exit interview I was told that all of my feedback would honestly go where every other former employee's does - in a file cabinet. They have had the same feedback from every employee that has left and they don't even both addressing the issues anymore because they won't do anything about it. How horrible is that? My advice is not to walk away but to run! Hope this helps! Most people that stay at Tessco for multiple years only stay because they are stuck!
