Pros

ZERO... Absolutely ZERO pros

Cons

I was offered the job and moved two hours away from my home to take it. I was brought on to be a Marketing and Sales Rep for the new branch in Quincy, IL. Told me I would have to start out as Production to learn the business of what I was selling. Made sense to me so I didn't think twice. During my first week I completely moved everything from one warehouse to their new one across town. My second week I went to a job site alone with no training and completed it myself. On a Friday they told me that I would begin my video training online, Monday. I showed up on Monday at 8 am. Watched a few videos and by 11:30 am I was fired for being "Unprofessional" and because the manager said "I don't think we will get along very well." I'm not going to claim I was perfect by any means, but perhaps a correction on behavior or whatever it was that made me unprofessional was in order first before firing me after half a day. You can call me disgruntled but it seems a little fishy that after moving them into a new warehouse and finishing a job for them, after they fired their other production workers, that all of a sudden I am "Unprofessional." To top it all off I have been waiting an extra two weeks to receive my compensation for the two weeks I did work. If I don't see the check soon, legal action will ensue.

Pros

Immediate leadership was great, and starting pay was competitive. There are people who genuinely want to see the company succeed. The owners were personable and made a point to interact with all of the staff.

Cons

Dishonest. When hired I was promised commissions on profitable jobs. My whole time there I, my boss, and the only other project manager never saw a bonus, even though the department saw very significant increases in profit margins since I was hired, due in large part to the changes made to the process between my boss and myself. I was moved out to the region for this job and missed some time due to complications with the move, as well as some health struggles. I was given understanding and advised to keep and eye on it. When given news that our department was essentially dissolving and I would be taking on the work of half the team, I left early to discuss with my wife. On returning I was immediately terminated without any warning whatsoever and nothing lined up in a state I haven’t had time to make connections. Infighting among the staff is also an ongoing issue.
