Pros

Diversity Fast paced environemnt Intensive sale training Operations, credits, and purchasing departments are relatively efficient Good experience in sale and customer services.

Cons

The sale team is always last to know when changes have been made. Ironically, the sale team is the one who deals with customers yet they are always the last to know when changes have been implemented. Ruining the relationships with customers drastically. Management rely their informations on certain indivduals who do not necessary represent the entire group. Departments within are not running efficeintly since too many employees are afraid to be resposible for any mistake. Sale Management promote individuals who are extremaly eager to please the upper, even though they have poor work ethics. Insecurity is a big issue with the sale management group.

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
