Pros

A Company Car, working independently

Cons

This is a company in total disarray. Hopefully, with the company being sold to Lindt, new management from top to bottom will follow. This will be the only way to bring change to this company. Mid level management (DM's) are a joke, as they know nothing about managing their sales reps and their work ethic is poor to say the least . The S/R's joke about what their DM's excuses are, (i.e., to meet them late or leave them early). When someone is fired, management will leave the sales rep in a parking lot with no transportation to get home, then laugh about it. When you complain about the work load or long hours to upper management, you are labeled a whiner or complainer and they want to get rid of you. This is a company that wants " yes" people to work for them, not someone that will challenge issues. (NO, I was not fired from this company, I left because of all of the mismanagement).

Pros

“One of the most rewarding parts of my role was building my team and continuing to learn. The plant employees consistently supported one another, which made the work meaningful.”

Cons

Corporate leadership made collaboration difficult. Criticism was frequent and often came from individuals without plant-level knowledge. I was told I was “wrong” while actively teaching and supporting them. Corporate leadership operated under different rules than the plants, including separate vacation plans and holidays. Equal treatment was never achieved, and the belittling behavior was unlike anything I had experienced in a professional environment. The culture reflected a clear “do as I say, not as I do” mentality. In my experience, Corporate HR lacked transparency and demonstrated questionable ethical practices. Accountability was inconsistent, which made it difficult to lead effectively and retain strong talent.
