Pros

Freedom, prospecting availability, company events. Not much else.

Cons

Fear tactics, management is useless in aiding your business growth, empty promises of big money, low wages for work expected, culture is vindictive and manipulative, gossip is rampant. Senior executives routinely bad mouth younger sales agents and their work, without offering any actual help and guidance. Not selling a tangible material so when help is needed on new projects, sales managers will tell you to just do "some research" and offer no real experience and expertise on the subject. Corporate takes 55% of profit margin, which causes upper management to pressure sales agents to rip off their clients in the name of a buck. Avoid this company at all costs if you are just starting your career in sales. The flash and glamour disappear once the curtain is pulled back. Turnover rate is high for a reason. If I could rate "culture and values" as a 0 I would.

Pros

Even nearly 11 years after leaving Stephen Gould, I still consider it one of the best companies I have ever worked for. The culture within the Addison office was something truly special. Under the guidance of Todd Harmon and Rick DeVincent, leadership fostered an environment that was collaborative, innovative, supportive, and genuinely team-oriented. My fellow account managers and colleagues became like family, which is not something many companies can claim. What always stood out to me was Stephen Gould’s commitment to innovation — not only in packaging and supply chain solutions, but in continuously evolving alongside changing technologies and industry demands. The company never seemed content with simply being successful; there was always a drive to improve, grow, and better serve their clients. I recently stopped by the office after years abroad, and what struck me immediately was that the energy and culture I remembered were still very much alive. The team was engaged, enthusiastic, and actively discussing exciting future projects and growth initiatives. It spoke volumes about the consistency of the leadership and the company culture. I originally resigned to focus on raising my children, not because I wanted to leave the company. To this day, I still recommend Stephen Gould to entrepreneurs and businesses seeking packaging, logistics, and supply chain expertise. Very few companies leave such a lasting positive impression on both your professional career and your personal life. Stephen Gould certainly did for me.

Cons

They are stuck with me forever!
