Pros

Flexible schedules, enjoy working with most accounts. Work with wide range of people and companies. Enjoy time working with Industrial and Military Reps.

Cons

Micro manager, bullying, age discrimination, unreal forecasting, manager only cares about himself and his commissions, has no care for customer satisfaction. Tells you after hired, the more you need me the less I need you. No MARKETING! CRS program is a joke! Modified excel spread sheet. Compete against our own company products. Do not make anything close to what they tell you! Will spend more than you make at least for one to two years. Turn over is at least one person a month in our sales team. No chance for advancement. HR protects even the worst managers. Poor training and no follow up training. No support from franchises that we are told we have to work with. They also cannot stand our manager.

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable company, coworkers, and benefits.

Cons

Leadership listens to only select/funneled opinions & feedback to drive company roadmap versus allowing the data and customer feedback determine what’s next. Only select few are focused for advancement by management; it’s definitely who you know versus what you know. Pay is not up to average pay. I don’t feel valued. Made to feel like it’s a privilege to work here versus feeling appreciated for what we bring to the table. Not open to agile / modern practices. Can’t get things out the door because of failed processes & old ways.

Great product but the wrong culture

Industrial account manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Brand recognition is great and you’re selling the best in the industry. Make your own schedule, no micromanagement at all, account managers are generally trusted to be honest. An impressive company with impressive product.

Cons

Extremely cheap organization. Expenses are very tight, no car allowance for reps, etc. despite profits apparently steadily increasing, management keeps squeezing. Very political company culture. Internal competition for accounts, territory, and career advancement. Truly an old boys club. Competition with franchisees and even other account managers gives off a feeling of constantly competing with yourself
