Some very poor 'thin-skinned' dysfunctional management in MN.
Poor training for new employees, should be more than 1 week in Le Sueur.
Poor communication (limited working relationship, mentoring and lousy support from HQ management in MN to employees (especially newer) at local regional showrooms.
Poor on-boarding, not including new market or sales reps in important meetings, calls.
Critiquing new employees when they haven't been told what to do, policies, etc
Not hiring a full-time 'exclusive' training person who should be immediately spending face to face time in the field/showroom/plant, etc with newer staff.
Not giving enough time and adequate interviews to hiring, every candidate should have a chance to interview in-person or via Skype with all superiors they will interactive with to insure that there is no personality clashes. Very poor base pay for commission structured employees, commission potential is pretty low and capped.
Slow IT dept. No real HR dept. Provide laptop with lots of missing software making it frustrating to do your job and to submit expenses. Advice to candidate applying for a job at this firm; read all of these reviews. If you just need an interim job, it's tolerable, but this is not a firm to make great money or get ahead. If you a strong personality, you will not get along with management. Not a place to speak whats on your mind or concerns without the risk of losing your job.
