Underpaid and Overworked - Anonymous employee Statflo Employee Review

I agree with one of the reviews when I say that there are a lot of fake reviews on here. By fake, I mean, the employees were probably forced to go online and write something positive and there is probably an executive that is re-posting multiple reviews under aliases. Sadly, it is this executive that is the reason many of these negative reviews have been posted. Working in sales, I was separated from the rest of the team in product and projects. I was mainly working with 2 managers and the CEO. My team was great but the sales approach we used and the indecisiveness of the CEO was absolutely insane. It took him forever to decide whether or not we should write personalized cards for a trade show and after debating between yes and no for days tells us all that it's a go and we have 48 hours to get over 200 cards ready! Not only was there extensive research required to write such notes, but to manually hand write them and expect them is such a short was something he did not even baulk at. Given how such a decision could have been made a week ago, it was infuriating as it cut into my time to make sales calls and demo's. During our weekly lunch and learn's, the CEO would go over our sales and lie to the rest of the company in telling them just how well we were doing. Never have I heard numbers as inflated as the one's presented in these weekly sessions and it was surprising to myself to know what direction sales was taking and had already undertaken, given nobody had told us. They wanted us to continuously sell, which makes sense, but not once did they staff up to keep up with customer demands. How silly did we look when we were unable to deliver on something because we were short on resources. This company is anything but pro-active. I was friends with a few people from different departments and all of them were miserable. They complained about lack of processes, lack of resources, how overworked they were and how they were getting harassed by one of the executives for mundane things such as who they go to lunch with. My time at Statflo was short and I am glad I left. I do not recommend working here unless you are desperate and like being treated like garbage. The only positive reviews on here are from those who are 'preferred' employees. Take my advice - you are MUCH better off anywhere but here.
