Pros

-Company car and gas -50k starting salary -Easy work

Cons

With all due respect, where do I begin. TTI is a successful company that is experiencing a lot of growth right now, however they need to make drastic changes in order to sustain this growth. Lets start with the recruitment process; recruiters are often not honest about the details of the actual job position. Many times candidates are lied to about what their job will actually consist of in order to hit their recruitment goals. Besides this, TTI has an extremely linear way of thinking and begins every new employee in the same role as an "Event Marketing specialist". Honestly, the job itself is not that bad and quite easy. You will find yourself hanging out in Home Depot and a lot of the times bored. The main problem with this is your "performance" is measured by how your store is performing and you will see terrible reps promoted before hard working reps simply because they have a lucky store that performs better. Managers will constantly be promising you promotions and positions that don't exist. Not to mention, in order to get promoted you have to either be willing to relocate to either Wisconsin, South Carolina, North Carolina, or literally anywhere else in the country at their choosing if you wish to remain working out in the field. On top of managers making false promises to their reps, you will find that many managers are fresh out of college, only been with the company a couple months longer than you, and often times just flat out lost. Due to TTI experiencing a lot of growth at this moment, they have forced a bunch of 23-25 year olds into manger positions (since the company doesn't outside hire) and this has caused a lot of problems. Besides managers being lost, you will see many managers play favorites and will only put you up for promotions if you are on their good side. I have talked with many reps and they all agree, the culture has become pretty toxic because of this. All in all, the company culture has become pretty toxic and the structure is messy and unorganized.

Pros

As long as you get along with the people at Home Depot, this job is mindless.

Cons

There are more cons than pros at this job. -You are working in a Home Depot everyday, as an associate, but for the three brands. -It’s rare to get training from your manager, I was given three days of training and left on my own at a High Volume store. -Your schedule will constantly change. Whether that be from M-F to T-S or 8:30-4:30pm. They lie in the interview process. In any case, there’s a chance you will only get Sunday off during the transition. -Surprise visits from your manager and then do a store walk to discuss everything you’re doing wrong without proceeding with advice for improvement. -Leadership development program is not consistent. Being here a year, I haven’t been approached by my manager for future plans with the company/or asked during performance evaluation. Someone on my team who hasn't been there a year got promoted before those who have more seniority. -Aggressive tactics to approach customers in aisle made me uncomfortable. Teaching employees to “K*ll the competition” is not professional in any way. -They offered a vehicle and gas card then took it away, a prime benefit for employees and supplemented it with $.96/hr which working in California is only enough for gas. Nor wear and tear on your vehicle and make you get business vehicle insurance. -They took the vehicles in waves so, your coworker could have a company vehicle while you drive your own car. Managers are able to keep their vehicles. -You’re supposed to be given power tools for demos and store use for projects but you are not given proper training in handling a drill or sometimes never even receive the power tools at all which limits your job. Totally unsafe, what would OSHA think. -Unnecessary heavy lifting. -Was given a raise ($.36 cents) and my co-worker who worked TWO months longer than I received a larger raise. While we do the same amount of work. Performance wasn’t evaluated properly. -102 Training, makes you room with a stranger, that could be anyone in the company.

Pros

- none, waste of time

Cons

- constant layoffs every quarter but somehow the CEO still gets a company jet and car service and higher ups get BMWs and range rovers as company cars. - does not value employees, only the bottom line. - no diversity, very few people of color.
