Great Team, Terrible Management

Pros

A great team sales, admin and accounts. lots of incentives and Spivs

Cons

Management still think it's the 80's. Their anachronistic point of view on the channel is laughable. They fail to remain relevant in a world that has moved on. Product portfolio is mostly second sourced. Company has been running at an operational loss for years

Pros

Good staff purchase scheme, whereby you can purchase any item at the same cost to the company

Cons

Senior management run this company as if it were still in the eighties!! There is absolutely NO trust, employees are requested to fill out "away on business" forms if they are out of the office visiting customers and have to obtain the permission of senior management, even for so called external positions!! There is categorically no working from home, again, not even for external or even senior management.

Pros

A couple of reasonable tier 2 brands, Paid base salary on time

Cons

Never expect Commission - targets are unattainable, if you smash it and exceed targets they will find ways to not pay you commission. No plan, no strategy, leadership from the 80s. Losing vendors constantly as there is no investment in resource and they expect to be fed by the vendors. Sales team are purely reactive order takers. In complete denial about the shocking state of their IT, pretend it is the first they have heard about it when a problem is highlighted. Minimum rewards and benefits possible offered. No progression opportunities.
