Pros
If you like change, this is the place. The dynamic of the business philosophy at this company changes yearly and sometimes more often than that. They are the leader in soft flooring manufacturing and owned by none other than Warren Buffett.
Cons
Anyone below the Regional Sales Manager will be cast to their own. The directives of your local RM are based on how best to achieve his bonus which is a whopping amount so don't be the one to stand in the way. The statement has been made by upper management that the RM is the most important person in the company so if you take pride in your work or have an ego it doesn't matter, he is the only important person (remember?) The RM has told each of us individually that "you will make less money next year." Really? I can't wait to go to work. In addition, depending on the RM, you may never get the opportunity to advance. This company's standard directive to each manager is if you're interested in promoting or moving an employee, you are required to speak to his manager first. Some managers can see that allowing an employee to promote or move will require them to train a new employee. If you're sales, good luck, Ive tried for 15 years.
