Curtis 1000 Reviews

Pros

Strong values and good people. Ethical. Team oriented. Part of the Taylor company which is solid and well funded. Overall a good place to work.

Cons

Sales shrink every year. Regardless of the reason, this must be changed. It is depressing.

Advice to Senior Management

Find a way to grow. Somehow, someway. Maybe get new blood into Sales. Nothing can be successful if people are not buying the products.

I worked with some very nice people. I miss some of the people but not the job.

Cons

Management does not seem to care about their employees.

Pros

There were some very talented people brought in to lead change and move the company forward through pivotal readjustments in product offering, systems and manufacturing.

Cons

The culture restricted change. Curtis has made many leaps forward but is still dragging its feet.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop reinvesting in old IT. It's pouring good money into an old car. Just start from scratch or buy a license to the best on the market.

Pros

Flexible vacation and work schedule.
Good benefits
Nice bonuses
Management staff cares about health and general well being of employees.

Few opportunities for advancement within Curtis 1000, however good room for growth within taylor corporation companies, yet management does not sit with employees to talk about career advancement.

Advice to Senior Management

Consult with your front-line managers before implementing ideas that directly affect their day-to-day activities.

Pros

The job had great benefits, and the salary was top notch, the company has very low over head and is able to pay very well. There is no micromanagement involved at all and you are left to you own for better or worse.

Cons

The company is having great troubles finding its market share in an ever changing market place. There is a flawed support structure in the management as well as support from corporate. The communication is tough company wide. The company would greatly benefit from a more robust infrastructure of communications as well as a better system of tracking orders after you place them.

Advice to Senior Management

There needs to be a better communications infrastructure for the sales rep in so that they have accurate information to forward on to the customers. This would lead to a more comfortable sale for the customer as well as more confidence for the sales rep.
