Less Than stellar management

Pros

Good people at the branch level...some at the national level. Good product mix. Good insurance benefits from day 1.

Cons

Micromanages the hell out of you. Some Regional managers have no clue and their bedside manner is terrible. Every hour they are complaining if sales aren't good which makes life at the branch level demoralizing. Too much jumping through hoops for customers to get problems resolved. Pay for sales associates are stagnate because there are unreasonable quotas to hit to achieve commissions on top of hourly wage.

Pros

Great vendors and products to be around.

Cons

Sales management beyond their depth. More interested in boosting their personal profiles than in effective sales management. Not leaders by any means, and do not inspire. Hourly sales updates sent to all employees by e-mail very negative and berating. Effectively telling salespeople they are poor when numbers not where they want. Most quality employees have either left or been let go over the last two years leaving mediocre or new people. Very little cooperation between departments so there is no feeling of a team atmosphere. Departments do not help each other, so everyone is pulling in their own direction instead of working together. Several recent corporate decisions have driven long time dealers/customers to buy from local competition. There is no mission statement or philosophy that guides the company. The mentality is "how much can you sell today?". It has become a very toxic work work environment.
