Pros

Long time friendships with fellow employees and good relationships with the current client base

Cons

Lack of competent upper level management. Management has good intentions but are never able to implement the processes and in fact need to hire outside consulting firms to complete the tasks. Examples being the employee survey completed mid 2008. We have had only one report on the results and no follow thru on plans for implementing any of the suggestions for improving employee morale. 3-10 year growth plan had to be outsourced to outsourced to a third party. Every aspect of the company is sales driven.

Pros

This was truly the best job I ever had, the management was excellent and I wish I still worked there. I started there in 2006 and quickly became their top telemarketer. But went through a separation and an addiction problem and deserted the position. I have been clean over 8 yrs now and would love another opportunity to contribute to their growth with my marketing and sales skills.

Cons

There were none. From the moment I became an employee there was support at every level from training to management. I truly have nothing bad to say.

Pros

My division has a very loyal employee group from the sole proprietorship days that work very well together despite the lacking talents of the "new" corporate executive management team. We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest customer satisafaction producing an extremely loyal customer base ready and willing to provide prospect referrals. Even with the uncertainity of the next management move which most certainly includes additional RIF potential we still continuing to drive performance both in technology and support arenas.

Cons

Executive management has been unable to produce a focused, market-driven business plan based on the independent division strengths and weaknesses. Given the contraction of the current wholesale industry segment the ability of a company to work with their client base is imperative. This fact seems to be lost on those responsible for making or breaking this company. Seemingly arbitrary hirings increasing the executive salary load while reducing the "working" population with little regard as to the full impact these lost employees might actually have on the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire workgroup has made it difficult to remain.
