Pros

The people in this industry are awesome. Great individual contributors have been through and worked at this company.

Cons

I witnessed firsthand a pattern of leadership behavior and organizational decisions that directly contradict the principles of ethical, effective, and visionary leadership. Under Mr. Sellers' leadership, the company has experienced extraordinarily high employee turnover, including the departure of two Human Resources Directors in RAPID succession. Most recently, the President, Darrell Mitchell, resigned, a move widely viewed within the organization as a direct response to ongoing dysfunction at the executive level. Decisions affecting the business were frequently driven by Mr. Seller’s own personal interest and nepotism rather than sound strategy or merit, leading to operational inefficiencies, declining morale, and a toxic workplace culture.

Pros

There are some great people there who are passionate about what they do and are amazing to work with. They want to make Sellmark better.

Cons

Sellmark is dysfunctional at best and honestly it’s due to its leadership. The owner thinks he knows everything and pushes people to stop their actual work to do whatever random tasks he deems is important that day. Things like making new gate designs for the company ranch, or talking to one of his “contacts” that he over promised something to. When you try to bring up way to improve the company your often told your being negative and are dismissed by leadership instead of them actually dealing with the problem. He does not value people and thinks everyone is replaceable. Every year more and more company culture aspects are killed (like Halloween decoration competition) because they “decrease productivity” and you can tell it’s had an effect on the employees there. He often inconveniences this own employees for his other business ventures like the venue at the back of the building or the inability to go to the ranch for your actual job due to it being booked by others. He also values cheap people over good people when hiring.
