Pros

Quality product, good reputation, not quick to let people go

Cons

upper management lacks sophistication, lack of clearly defined career paths, extreme lack of visibility into sales numbers, slap on the back good old boy culture among VPs, consistently changing focus, little flexibility for sales people to make decisions in their own territory

So much potential, and yet so far off the mark.

Pros

The people are fantastic. I've had the honor of meeting some of the most intelligent and capable people at Victaulic. The organization has a huge focus on innovation and constantly invests in product development. Industry leader in piping systems. Management at all levels are quite approachable and friendly. Highly philanthropic organization. The company demonstrates high integrity and sense of responsibility.

Cons

Not enough opportunities. Highly unclear, and unfair career development. Unclear because there is no obvious career path, except for perhaps in Sales. Unfair because often times, the career moves have more to do with the hiring managers' personal preference for a particular person, or the candidates relationship to another employee in an influential position, and less to do with their educational and experiential background that qualify them for the role. Highly restrictive, autocratic environment. The very intelligent people who are hired are not entrusted with the capability of doing the work without being micromanaged. The work is unnecessarily made to be stressful because of unrealistic deadlines being set by executives who are far removed from the execution and pre-requisites, and unwillingness to change more than processes to accommodate for workload (such as hiring more people, reorganizing teams or responsibilities, reassessing priorities or getting temporary help).

Pros

Company Car, Expense Account, Flexible Schedule

Cons

Commission structure is a joke. Management over promises and under delivers. Is a job for a single young guy.
