I have been working at ScentAir Technologies full-time for more than a year
Pros – Open door policy that is actually open door. Fun environment Live work balance. Growing company.
Cons – management needs improvement. Some departments don't cooperate with each other. Each manager is out for themselves No bonus
Advice to Senior Management – Pay attention to how some of the managers interfer with other departments and some sr leaders don't know what is happening in their own backyard
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at ScentAir Technologies full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Independent and creative sales position for the right person.
Cons – Poor management team. They typically hire from within and promote people who don't have the appropriate experience or training to hold management positions. Especially in marketing and sales.
Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your sales team and believe what they share with you. Be more open minded to developing relationships with customers as opposed to your typical hit and run sales approach.

I worked at ScentAir Technologies full-time for less than a year
Pros – Great product, easy to capture interest by cold calling.
Cons – If you're not in NYC, LA, Vegas or Miami, you will struggle to survive. It's easy to sell to boutique hotels that want to differentiate themselves from the competition, however, most territories don't have many. My territory had one. Also, my territory had only a dozen nursing home facilities and two casinos (that already closed the door on scent air prior to my tenure). There was no opportunity to succeed. Contrary to other comments, I hated when manager rode with me, he struggled to sell and it was uncomfortable on sales calls. Fortunately, bad weather in the northeast would get me out of ride days!
Advice to Senior Management – Hire 1099 employees in less ritzy areas and salespeople could sell this as their secondary product.

I have been working at ScentAir Technologies
Pros – Brilliant Leadership took Beautiful Scent and married it with Excellent Engineering, sprinkled it with Marketing Genius and put it in Sales Drive to produce an Extraordinary Family of Products at Great Prices that our Clients and their Customers Love.
Many of us are at ScentAir are work at home Professionals. It allows us to earn a great living, manage our both our career and family responsibilities.The company is right sized. Not too top heavy. The money that the company saves in real estate has allowed HQ to grow and invest in technologies allows us to develop as a team and communicate with each other as if we were in the same office, even though we are several hundred miles away. Working from home you have to approach it like it your own business, because really it is. Meeting with clients keeps us well socialized and productive. It's a great lifestyle career, but be prepared to work ALL the time.
Cons – Growing Pains and Communication Blunders. If you're looking for bankers hours, this job is not for you.
Advice to Senior Management – Love the new CEO of ScentAir! Tom Conroy is the ideal mix of IQ, EQ, SQ & GQ, an intelligent and capable leader that is far more worthy of the job.

Pros – Fun company with a great product
Cons – Expect to get lots of attention when you ae successful and no attention or support when you are struggling and need it most
Advice to Senior Management – managers are not able to offer much training or field time to field reps, while the independence is great a manager visit once a month or at least every other month would be great

I have been working at ScentAir Technologies full-time
Pros – A very exciting product with a great company culture. People get excited about the service and it is fun to sell. The training was great and extensive and it is awesome to meet so many people at the home office. Working remotely provides extensive freedom.
Cons – Most Regional Managers and Sales Directors have never sold the product and only care about numbers. Working remotely has its negatives too.... I sometimes feel like I do not have the support that I need. Regional sales managers are often too busy hiring and interviewing to care about their team. Low base salary.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at ScentAir Technologies full-time for more than a year
Pros – Good company culture, fun co-workers.
Cons – Too much travel for field sales without compensation
Advice to Senior Management – Needs to have more marketing done for field sales to create more interest. Upper management needs to talk to field sales more. They tend to go through the Regional Manager instead of just talking directly to Account Executives. Makes field sales people feel like upper management is unreachable. Upper management also needs to respond quicker to customer questions about pricing, etc.

I worked at ScentAir Technologies full-time for more than a year
Pros – Amazing technology and science. Great money if you are a top producer. Work out of your home.
Cons – Low mileage compensation. Low work/life balance. Not a lot of training after the initial week at corporate.
Advice to Senior Management – Give your reps more time to amp up their pipelines. Reimburse mileage at the federal rate instead of a stipend that gets taxed.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
