Pros

Company has potential overall, but has a really long way to go before it can be considered a good place to work. Paid time off starts accruing immediately and is generous for new employees

Cons

Training is a joke. Managers act as if they are trying to pump you up in front of other managers and company owner, but the overall feeling is miserable. You can work your hardest and it either isn't good enough or it is and they load more and more work on top of you until you cannot possibly complete it all to even your personal standards. Turn over is high due to constant negativity and bad working environment.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Please feel free to contact me directly at work to chat too. As for your concerns about training, while we have steps still to take, we have been making a considerable effort over the past year to improve training. In the past 6 months over 25 staff have gone out to full day Fred Pryor training classes in courses like Excel, Project Management and Skills for a first time supervisor. We are working on an interactive training portal for our Call Center. And are piloting a new "career path" program that incorporates training and certification stages. As for the workload and environment, we do strive very hard to serve our customers and that does require quite a bit of learning and know-how on the part of our staff. For some folks, they thrive in that environment, but we realize that it may not be for everyone and we could do a better job in giving staff the tools to be successful.

Pros

The product catalog is good and customers like the sales flyers.

Cons

The biggest challenge to growing sales or bringing new customers is due to a high number of internal problems. There is a high employee turnover due to the owner refusing to pay competitive wages or invest in employee training. Supplier support is also bad in the field because they have very little or no relationship at all with corporate management in NY. Customers often have inconsistent experiences, making it hard to compete. Poor stocking levels result in many back orders and multiple shipments over many days. There are also too many shipping errors, and the ball was often dropped by customer support. All of these things force the sales people to spend a lot of time fixing problems, When you are finally able to convince a new customer to place an order, your biggest fear is the ball being dropped.
