"Perma-Sea Is Not For Everyone"

Pros

You get free t-shirts that will ultimately go to Goodwill when this company derails your career

Cons

In my first interview, I was told that Perma-Seal is not for everyone. I should have thanked them for their time and left at that moment. It is not for everyone - specifically if you do not buy into their "tribe" culture. I always thought the customer comes first. That is not the case at Perma-Seal. They drill into your head that you are part of a "tribe". A tribe is a group of people that looks out for their own. This tribe only cares about their senior leadership and pointing fingers at new employees for failed/outdated business practices. They preach coaching, they preach they will do everything they can to ensure an employee is successful. In my time there I saw a director and manager fired after two months on the job. There is no traction with the revolving door of employees. If you want an outside look at Perma-Seal, simply watch an episode of The Office. At least Michael Scott could run a branch. Senior leadership is too busy bashing skulls with the tribe mantra and traveling all over Africa on a company sponsored "Speaking tour". They say Make the World a Better Place. Best advice I could give would be to make your little business a better place and move up from there.

You are so right, being a Sales Consultant for Perma-Seal is definitely not for everyone. We strive mightily to do our best during the interview process to explain the commitment, work ethic and desire to learn needed to be successful as our customers count on that from our company. We will be looking at the process even harder to see if we can do a better job to help future candidates. We are honored and proud that our President was invited to speak on behalf of Conscious Capitalism to budding entreprenuers in Africa, Sri Lanka and Greece and he also volunteered his time to do so for many local Chicagoland organizations (and he paid for it all himself!). It’s a great example of how we make the world a better place for our Tribal Members, our Customers, our Partners and the Community at large. We wish you the best in your future endeavors!

Pros

The people overall are good people that come to work everyday and just work. The owner seems like a genuine guy who is trying to keep his company in great tactic. He has compassion for people and is someone respectable.

Cons

for the COO (his wife) she demands respect instead of earning it from the employees, very unprofessional and lacks integrity, she believes that everything revolves around herself and Directors. Some managers and one Director don't understand professionalism when it comes to respecting employees. Some managers have bad days and take out on their employees and make disrespectful comments to their employees. HR ignores harassment. It is a good company if you want to just make some fast money and work but not a place for growth.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. One of our core values is that we strive to be better and our only wish was that you shared your specific feedback while you were still part of our Tribe so that we could take action. We wish you the best as you seek a new place of employment that is a better fit for you!
