      Pros

      US Company was in growth mode for three years and making real good progress until some drastic management changes were made by Finland.. There are some good people trying in US to make a difference, but with lack real leadership understanding the US and products not built for the competitiveness in this Country it is not working!

      Cons

      Corporate management in Finland killed the US momentum by changing US management team. US Management now in shambles, led by outsiders who are condescending and do not understand what it takes to lead in the US.. Moral at all-time low. Lots of people looking to leave. Company losing share rapidly. A 180 degree difference then last year!

      Thanks for the candid review. Since the time of your review, much has changed. Complete house cleaning of the USA management team, replaced now by industry veterans driving significant and positive change.

      Pros

      There has been some management changes in the past but more need to take place in order for this company's image to improve.

      Cons

      Disrespectful to their employees. Prefers young workers because they think it is a better image for their products.One can grow old just waiting to be promoted. If you are liked by management then your promotion is guaranteed. Their is no real performance evaluation that makes any sense.

      Thanks for the candid review. I see you wrote this review in 2014. Since, then significant change has occurred in the company to address the concerns you note. If you are still an employee at Polar and don't agree that we are on the right track now, I urge you to contact me directly. Thanks for considering!

      Pros

      Loved working for them. Lots of Travel and Sales Expectations. Great perk is you get to Travel to New York and work with some of the best in the fitness industry.

      Cons

      Very High Turnover with Great employees. These guys expect you to build your business pipline and when you finally do they let you go and see how long till that territory goes to be in the red. No matter what you do in Sales with Quotas in your Territory they are never satisfied. Don't expect to work long with the company they sell to Amazon and HRM USA much cheaper that you can sell to your clients. Also, no media presence for marketing.

      Thanks for the candid review. All valid points based on what I hear was the operating style in years gone by. Since your 2012 review, the company has gone through tremendous change and I assure you the environment, today, is nothing like what you describe from days gone by. Sorry you had to endure what sounds like a rough period. Situation is very different today.
