We're all really grateful to have a job, but...

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Medical benefits are good. Also, I'm relatively happy with my salary and appreciate that I can get a day off when I need it.

Cons

People in the trenches are understaffed and overworked. Technology is outdated. UVX is truly garbage. And you’re expected to waste untold hours logging every fart in Salesforce rather than bringing in business. Management leaves you to sink or swim. They expect work to get done, but don’t care if you have access to the tools or information you need to accomplish it. I’ve never worked in a place before where it was acceptable to just ignore requests for help. Layoffs and more layoffs. Sad little bonuses. Bad morale – due to all of the above and so much more.

Once a great place to work ruined by bad Management...

Pros

As stated many times before, this was a great place to work until present management lost sight of what was important- happy employees translate into satisfied customers. They have lost both!

Cons

Management that doesn't understand the business of Distribution. Its not rocket science. Experienced people no longer there to guide new employees, and the ones that are left, are afraid for their jobs so they will not challenge management. Too many Executive level polo shirts that manage by numbers and wasted money on consultants.

Overall - approach to distribution - which is what they excel at - is good.

Cons

Management is very reactive and not proactive. Management has mostly forgotten about taking care of the customer.
