Micromanaging Dinosaurs - Sales Representative Printers Plus Inc. Employee Review

This company has no corporate structure what so ever. There is a sales manager who know's what he is doing but is rarely the one doing the managing. The owners micromanage every transaction and decide whether the sale is worth doing. I've never seen a more disorganized organization with as much distrust and internal conflict as this one. They pay minimum salary and will poach accounts, and change policies to ensure they never have to pay commissions. Any commissions or bonuses I made where met with week long discussions with ownership changing or adding rules in order to pay me the smallest amount possible. They openly abuse and operate outside of the guidelines of there ''Partners'' Xerox and HP, and are one audit away from loosing there status with both companies and going bankrupt. From the moment I got there I tried to help them reverse their current trajectory and start growing sales through proper marketing strategy as well as an integrated online strategy, by fixing their website and creating a social media presence, but they are unable to understand any kind of real growth strategy and seem content to watch the company die at this point and retire. It has been consistently shrinking for many years, and at this point if they lost their two aging sales stars or one or two big accounts the company would dry up instantly. To sum this place up you can use a few keywords: micromanaging, favoritism, disorganized and dying.
