    Corporate Instability

    Feb 28, 2023 - Market Manager in Columbus, OH
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    In home sales can be rewarding

    Cons

    Pay, work life balance, and customer feedback are all bad. Salary is lower than average, and most markets do not hit bonus. Company is not transparent about expectations. Inventory is not well accounted for, affecting P&L (bonuses). Sales are not accurately recorded and management does not have access to numbers in real time. Customer reviews are really bad, and managing angry customers is a daily task. Company pushed products knowing they are sub par. Management is expected to work 60+ hours a week. Additionally, I was personally discriminated against. Happy to have left.

    There a very few pros, unless you’re in a bigger market.

    They will work you as many hours as possible, including Saturdays. The company is on the lower end of the salary range in Ohio and will make you work well over 40 hours a week. The company is no where near employee centric.
