Needs Work - Sales Associate Carls Patio Employee Review

Paul does a great job being involved and running the company.

It does get very slow during summer.

2 weeks vacation after 1 year.

Commission structure is brutal! If you don't meet monthly "goals and milestones" they take away and keep a percentage of your hard earned commissions as punishment. There are many times where salespeople end up owing the company money because they don't make their sales goals. (which is a frequent occurrence at many locations.) Could you imagine working at a place for 45 hours a week and then have to pay them for the privilege of being there? I thought sales managers are supposed to assist the staff to reach their sales goals. Not at Carl's! The store managers at the stores are also commissioned salespersons. which means besides being your boss they are also your competition.
