Pros

ObamaCare forced them to offer health care, otherwise they would not. Ok hourly pay, IF you have experience, otherwise they will try to cut corners and low ball you. They promise you endless commission opportunities BUT you are only eligible for commission once you meet their ridiculously high monthly sales quota. I never made a single dime in commission. They promise you the opportunity to advance but any management title here is just a title, you still get treated like a slave animal. I will say this, they are very honest about paying overtime, WHEN it is approved.

Cons

You are expected to punch in 10 minutes before your shift and 10 minutes after your shift. If you punch in 1 minute late you need to write a daily "tardy report" explaining why you are late and why you will never be late again. This document then needs to be signed by your manager and the president of the company. I understand punctuality is important but this is just RIDICULOUS. The entire mood of this office surrounds the president of the company. If he's is a bad mood then he comes to the office angry ready to go off on someone. You will literally get yelled at if you mislabel a file or use the wrong folder. If sales are low, all management is in a bad mood and its everyones fault, so you will get yelled at. The only time I ever heard any form of appreciation from management is when you made a LARGE sale and at the holiday party. Sometimes even when you made a sale you got yelled at. For the sale being to small! So there was no win win. You were always doing something wrong. I hate this type of environment. I also think the owners are a bit racist. Don't even bother working here. There are thousands of other wholesalers in downtown/vernon area where you can work. I would rather work at mcdonalds then work here. There are a lot of other problems here that glass door is not allowing me to post.

Horrible Experience

Pros

Free coffee? I guess you can say pay was okay for entry-level.

Cons

The company culture is one of the worst I've seen. Very hostile environment where everyone seems to be walking on egg shells out of fear of upsetting CEO. As someone else mentioned about the way time cards are handled, they pretty much expect you to not leave your desk a minute before your clock time but you are also not allowed to clock out a minute after. You basically have 60 seconds to get from your desk to your time card and you will be called out on it every time if you're a minute late or even early. It feels as if the company is much more concerned about getting the cheapest and fastest work rather than getting quality work that will help the brand look better. I also found it very rude of management that although their handbook says you are to speak English in the workplace, management is giving complaints about you to your supervisor right in front of you but in a different language so you don't understand what they are saying. If someone is new and you have a specific way you want things done, then just approach them and let them know, talking to others about them in a different language only makes for an uncomfortable situation. One of the worst working experiences I've ever had. Also, I try to be very understanding about this but most of the upper management will speak to you in very broken English and get frustrated with you for not understanding every word, I'm trying to understand your instructions and be patient with the language barrier, meet halfway and don't give a rude tone if someone politely asks you to repeat something.
