Sales people not paid commission

Pros

You get to travel, unlimited food and drink budget in travel expenses. Free coffee. Cool product, environmentally friendly etc. great chance to build skills.

Cons

Sales people are hired or promoted with the verbal promise of commission, but it's never paid. You're just told "we're still working on that" or "we don't owe you anything". The company has been losing more and more money, but they still set aggressively high sales goals without any justification for these goals. There's hardly any marketing budget or consumer demand. Marketing is "viral videos" that get 500 views. That's about it. Assessments of employees is based on gossip, sucking up, and office politics - not the actual value of the person. Management is always chasing the next shiny penny - the newest employee is always the person who will save the company. When they can't deliver because of underlying problems, they're then marked as "the problem". Problems in the company are always blamed on the most recent employee to leave. It's convenient to blame them instead of truly addressing the problem. Immensely negative culture. High turnover. Unstable environment. Negative people are kept so good people leave.

I'm actually offended a company like this exists

Pros

I guess work-life balance is awesome because people just come and go as they please, coming in at 9:30 am and leaving at 3, with a 2 hour lunch break. Most circuses charge for admission, this one lets you in for free! You probably won't get AIDS from working here? Umm, is that enough positive? Because this place is a train wreck...

Cons

I'd liken HAAN to Detroit: once a good place, on the rise, full of potential and boundless future... but then it crashed. All the good people left. It's near bankruptcy. It shrinks year by year. The world would be a better place if it never even existed. Also, you run the risk of getting shot since the office is just that tense, there's always a potential that someone is going to snap and start blasting. All joking aside, this company is just absolutely terrible. Everyone has a chip on their shoulder about something. Useless schmucks who are good at kissing up step over everyone in their department, 3PL logistics constantly screws things up for the company, software used is laughable, sales people are promised commissions that are never paid, accounting department is faced with books that just won't balance. I feel the worst for management who are charged with sailing a leaky ship. They're stuck working through the troughs of BS this company has built up over the years. The problem is the ownership. The ownership lacks intelligence, scruples, ethics, people-sense, business-sense, or any traits a decent human being should have. There's a streak of pure evil at the top of this place. Worst part is, ownership is delusioned into imagining themselves the CEO's of a huge fortune 500 company when really they're no more influential than a prison warden (of a prison anyone with intelligence escapes). The massive turnover, shrinking sales, poor morale, poor profitability, and inevitable demise are all the result of the ownership. They once hired skilled people who gained them big accounts, but have since ruined every one of those accounts. This, again, is the result of ownership who doesn't know how to run a company.

Pros

Good if you need a job because your unemployed or need experience. interesting product when it works. pay more then minimum wage. eventually u either get fired or quit.

Cons

insane, very insane. and it all starts at the top. I'm not sure how the owner got a company off the ground but she is clueless and the way things are run show it. Really high turnover, low quality products, every one is mad about some thing. their not doing well either, they make less money every year.
