Pros

Opportunities for Growth with in the company. Salary was fair for a sales position. M-F work week. Industry leader Decent benefits

Cons

1. Commission Structure Changes: Initially, the commission structure was highly rewarding, allowing for excellent earning potential. Over time, as the company grew, the goals became increasingly challenging, making it harder to achieve the same level of financial success. 2. Growth Strategy and Market Impact: The company’s approach to growth focused on acquiring competitors rather than organic development. While this expanded their market share, it often led to increased customer rates, which positioned the company as one of the most expensive options in the market. 3. Fleet Quality and Maintenance: The equipment fleet faced significant quality challenges. Despite charging premium rates, the company did not invest adequately in maintaining or upgrading units to meet customer expectations. Operational restrictions in the shop limited the ability to properly repair or improve the condition of the units. 4. Management and Work Environment: Managers were under pressure from higher-ups, leading to a culture of micro-management. Employees felt their autonomy was restricted as every detail of their week was closely monitored.

Pros

Once upon a time, I enjoyed it.

Cons

New CEO took over. He’s pretty out of touch. My former colleagues call me and ask me return on a weekly basis still because it’s going poorly for them. They constantly make business decisions that counter organic growth. Probably because the motivator is not organic growth. Sales are treated like call center employees and there’s a ton of hate from the WS/ MM merger that wasn’t dealt with. It is definitely an ivory tower. You’re inside of it or you are not. If you’re liked, you can do whatever you want. As long as it looks like you’re committed to the group. This means that you can’t share a dissenting opinion though. Two of the worst three managers I have ever seen were there. They target individuals who don’t go be them the metrics they want in safety or performance. HR’s goal is to protect the company. Share nothing with them, ever.
