Pros

Well, there aren't many Pros. You do get somewhat of a paycheck and there are a few benefits. The insurance is Blue Cross and Blue Shield of NC PPO but it appears as though it will be moving to a mandatory HSA in the near future.

Cons

You have to realize that Leviton is all about the bottom line for the company. Leviton had as recently as 2008, three manufacturing plants in the area. As the economy and housing markets slowed, Leviton closed 2 of the plants and moved those jobs to Mexico. The third plant is just hanging by a thread, with the hourly employees seeing their hours cut back from four twelve hour days a week to three and all overtime being eliminated. The plant leadership is weak. The supervision is very weak. The departments heads can not get along and had rather feud than coexsist. While the plant is ISO 9000 certified, the lack of manpower means the only time it is taken serious is when the annual audit takes place.

Pros

Compensation and insurance coverage was comparable within the market for a salary based plus incentives.

Cons

Extensive hours for sales staff when absorbing additional roles. Company has, since 2022, has chosen to increase sales reps territories when their co-workers leave. Results are obvius Lack of expert support and sales. Promotions within the company for expert based roles. Most employees at levels within the company started at a entry level positions and receive promotions and then internal or on the job training. This practice is great, except when the roles they are promoted into require technical training certifications or several years learning the products and systems in a support role prior to going out as a sales representative. The customer base knows what the company is doing and becomes frustrated with these new unseasoned sales reps as they are learning on the job and causing the customers delays and inaccurate advice or providing inaccurate products to solve the application presented. Customers are leaving the company and transationing to the competition, company is loosing distributors nationwide.
