Pros

PTO and this is honestly the only thing left!

Cons

Extremely Political. Individuals put into jobs based on who they know and not at all about qualifications. Upper management top heavy and take ownership for projects/ideas/work they didn’t do. Directors putting employees in management roles who don’t have any qualifications at all for the roles. Director verbally abusive and only looks out for herself. Company is headed in the wrong direction!

Pros

Company has good benefits and company car, which you can use as a personal car.

Cons

A lot of people are not happy. Commission is based on growth compared to the previous year, due to this, there is a high turn over rate. Good luck if you lost a million-dollar business out of your control because they'll expect you to make up for it and you won't even get any commission. Motivate your sales reps to actually sell, there is no incentive for a rep to close a million dollar deal if he won't receive any commission. Management, operations, and customer service is a mess at the moment with people constantly leaving, switching roles, and joining. They do not take feedback from reps and customers to make the necessary improvements. If you lost business due to poor customer service or operations messing up your order, good luck getting it back. Management plays favorites and will refuse to help some reps if you're on their bad side.

In addition to facilitating orders for our valued customers, they act as a key point of contact between customers, our sales team, and our supply chain teams. These team members go through extensive product and systems training and are considered true partners with our sales teams and customers. Our Customer Solutions team is currently going through a transformation which will result in significant improvements in effectiveness, efficiency and collaboration, while creating new capabilities and enhanced organizational capacity. Transformation can be challenging, but we are committed to making the necessary improvements for our teams, our business, and our customers. #togetherwewin
