Hanley Wood Reviews

Pros

the benefits of the job were really good. the company is big, and rewards its employees. there is a good span of young and old working.

Cons

they seem really disconnected from the real world. upper management listens to employees, but doesn't take their advice. changes and directions are never discussed, and the workload tends to be tedious because of this

Advice to Senior Management

start communication lines! stop leaving employees in the dark. stop false promises on deliverables. the reward system is nice, but since the company is soo big, it loses the zest it needs.

Pros

Benefits are competitive, but that is where it ends

Cons

Alot of office politics - company is not interested in delivering a quality product. Supplies bogus information to their clients

Please remember those who have stuck by since the good and the bad instead of focusing on cheap eager kids

Pros

Upper management is very honest and forthright when communicating good and bad news. They don't blow smoke and they don't try to sugar coat things.

Cons

Work life balance is not the greatest. Salaries are not competitive.

Advice to Senior Management

Make salaries more competitive as compared to similar jobs in the marketplace. With amount of work required, salaries are out of line.

Pros

Very generous time off policy. Good PTO benefits. Good computer systems and access. Nice building. Very good industry reputation. Recognized and respected for smart leadership and smart business decisions.

Cons

Very strict dresscode. Current economic conditions causing extreme micro-management of sales team. Few opportunities exist for advancement in sales ranks, but many opportunties exist for marketing and operations staffs. They say they are sales focused and yet sales people are rarely ever promoted beyond entry level.

Advice to Senior Management

Put your money where your mouth is. If sales is important, give us good compensation plans and clear cut steps for advancement within the company. You're not walking the walk.
