Milwaukee Tool reviews

As a Territory Rep (which you're actually an Account Manager) you are traveling non stop. Don't listen when they say you get 1 week a month in your home territory or 1 office day a week. Prepare to live out of a suitcase for your time there. Long work hours because you're a one-man-show. That means you're not just selling and reporting your sales. You're doing all the advertising, marketing, and you are the customer service, and you're doing it all late at night and in a different hotel room every night. The work load is ridiculous so you're better off not even paying rent for an apartment because you'll only sleep in your bed a handful of times each month. Archaic ordering methods don't make your life any easier or less time consuming. Zero commissions on sales. Lack of incentives won't drive a sales team. Being told "You should be lucky you're selling Milwaukee tools." doesn't help pay any student loans.

They will try what ever they can not to give you your end of the year bonus. In three years, I over performed on my over drive number, and not only was I not awarded anymore than people who had not, they did not pay me my full commission because of upload issues with our CRM system. You will be required to track down 80% of your clients receipts, scan them, and upload them to the CRM system. If anything goes wrong, or if your clients refuse to give you your receipts, they simply will not pay you your commission. There is no cost of living adjustment. I was forced to live in shabby run down apartments while generating three times the amount of revenue than those in the middle of the country, but they are paid the same, and are not shy about rubbing it in how they can afford a four bedroom house, a car, a boat, all on the same salary, with a mortgage less than what you pay for rent in a big city. If you complain, Milwaukee will first act as if you are ungrateful, than simply tell you "we don't provide a cost of living adjustment". You will have 8 or 9 different people telling you what to do, on top of your normal day to day requirements, and if you do not deliver on everyone's requests, you will be fired. This is a churn and burn environment. They will take you in after college, teach you, build you up, pay you nothing, then when you get to the point where you deserve more money, they will simply force you out of the company with embarrassingly low salary offers, or simply come up with a reason to fire you, and hand your clients over to a younger rep whose too naive to know to ask to for the money they're worth.
