Your feedback on the people who work for Purolator International is appreciated as I agree we have high quality team. The Branch Manager position is primarily responsible for direct sales and charged to grow their respective market. We offer very competitive compensation for these roles which includes a rich incentive program directly tied to achieving results. As common in sales positions, we do manage to lead and lag indicators and expect results which in turn mutually benefits the individual and the company. Our interview process provides clarity as to how we measure and manage sales to ensure we attract those who thrive in a high performance culture of accountability and frankly to dissuade those who are not.

Pros

Good location. On the whole, staff is friendly. Fair medical benefits - they used to be better.

Cons

Your input is not welcomed irregardless of how many surveys they send out. The top management sits on their thrones and make all decisions - don't make a mistake because you will never live it down. This place is totally who you know and not what you know
