Pros

I have no pros. I used to love my job before heidelberg acquired us.

Cons

Cut overtime 2 weeks before Christmas. Introduce new rules without notice or explanation when you have questions or concerns. Proudly spoke of the boot allowance they offer but nobody has an answer about how to use it when you ask. If you can think of something enjoyable about a job I am sure they could find a way to ruin it.

Pros

Their compensation is consistent and relatively good for not being commission but quite bad a good seller to excel.

Cons

The company is operationally driven with no focus on the sales team. Multi million dollar investments are made on various operational needs but little to no focus is on the sales group. There is no attempt to answer some key questions like “what are we doing to develop our bench”, “what career trajectory does a sales person have”, “how do we coach our managers to become better managers”. Most of the focus is on hard lagging KPIs with little focus on leading indicators for success (again operational senior leaders want hard numbers in front of them).
