One of the worst professional experiences of my sales career

Inside sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the people within the inside sales division were very friendly and well knowledgeable for the industry they are in.

Cons

Systems, procedures, policies, business practices, and everything in between was horribly disorganized. We were constantly told to quote lead times that were never going to get met, and asked to sell print jobs below margins just to get the sale. Commissions were never accurate. The insurance coverage offered was laughable at best.

Terrible Benefits - Wish CEO and Board would get a clue about the 401k

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people, good work, committed to safety

Cons

Benefits, benefits, benefits!! Been mentioned several times before, but the company several years ago did away with the pension plan. That is fine, a lot of companies did, and pensions were bankrupting companies. I understand. They discontinued the pension and replaced it with a 401k match, which they promptly did away with a year or so later. What a bait and switch! That is terrible!!! For a company of this size to NOT have a 401k match makes them uncompetitive for recruiting and retaining people. It also feels exceptionally greedy from the top level - the board and the CEO keep getting their raises and bonuses; bet they don't wonder how they will make ends meet when they retire. Significant staff reductions and employee turnover make for long work hours and pressure for those left behind. The constant "do more with less". Then to get rewarded with a 0-1% raise annually.
