Pros
I have None that I can share.
Cons
Worse place I have ever worked. There is nothing positive or good that would come working for this company at the Greenville office. If you are looking for an opportunity to work in sales, stepping stone to your next position, or get any experience, this is not the place for you.
1. Bonus – No one will/can tell you how the bonuses are structured. If you press for an explanation, they will give you the run around and say ‘it has changed’ but no details are given. In the Greenville office, even though we had different sales territories and the bonuses “were supposed to be based on your territory”. My territory brought in about 75% of the sales and Q1 was almost double the previous year. When bonuses came out, it was significantly less from the previous year and everyone received the same bonus amount regardless of territory. You will also receive gift cards to Wal-Mart. Which is okay if you shop regularly there, but it you think you will take your bonuses and save for something, forget it.
2. Training – Terrible training. The system is very complicated and they have multiple ways of doing the same thing. Most training is in the office and the manager, front offers staff and a person brought in to do training. All will show you a different way of doing the same thing. The manager has no patience. He expects you to have it memorized after showing it to you one time. If you don’t remember how or do it a different way than he wants, he becomes very condescending. If you don’t learn as quickly as they would like, expected to be let go before your 90 days. (keep in mind they tell you it will take more than 90 days to learn it)
3. Management – Atrocious. The management is Japanese so expect the managers to speak in Japanese to each other the majority of the time. My direct manager was a nightmare to work with. He was a micromanager, condescending and had a ‘god’ complex. If you didn’t do everything exactly how he wanted, you were yelled at (usually in front of everyone), even if what you did was acceptable, just different. He refused to delegate any work because he believed he was the only one who go do it right, and he made sure you know he was the only one who could do it. I spent many, many hours doing nothing because he would teach, delegate, or mentor me in any manner. He refused to take accountability for any of his errors. This man, would literally walk right past me at a client sight or in the office and refused to acknowledge my presence.
4. Promotions – unless Japanese, you won’t get promoted. Your annual review will be completely subjective. They can’t tell you want criteria/goals you are being held to.
