Pros
- Being part of Berkshire Hathaway provides financial strength and long-term stability. - Active investment in new manufacturers and technologies to grow the line card - Benefits have consistently improved over time — new additions each year show positive momentum. - When a bad life event happens, expect to receive cards, Flowers, Gift cards, ETC., from TTI.
Cons
- While TTI Inc. is strong on paper, branches are often run like independent small businesses. Local management has a significant influence on your success and trajectory. - Performance can feel subjective — accounts may be reassigned without clear reasoning or data, sometimes based on hearsay or internal politics rather than merit. - Constructive feedback and development are often lacking; decisions that directly impact compensation (like account moves) may come without warning, especially toward year-end. - A fear-based management culture can show up — emotional reactions from leadership may go unchecked, with little accountability or follow-up. - Internal relationships carry significant weight. Social involvement (happy hours, networking with reps/MFGs) often outweighs tenure or performance regarding recognition and protection. - Office culture can be uncomfortable at times. It’s not unusual to hear managers or employees speaking loudly and negatively about current or former coworkers. This behavior is often ignored or normalized by others.
