Pros

SunSource is a good company with solid management. They have some of the best product lines. There are many different divisions and places to work. Benefits are above average. Service facilities are top notch. Most employees care about company and work hard.

Cons

The Management is highly focused on improving sales and margins which make for stressful days. They do not allow salesman to set competitive prices. Customer Service is forced to use an old computer system with many road blocks to get orders placed. Sales calls are tracked and weekly conference calls are a waste of time. Commission is lower than most. They only pay salesmen about $.27/mile for reimbursement with nothing extra. They have a policy and rule for everything.

Pros

Having supportive peers and colleagues.

Cons

Lack of effective training structure, poor incentives and commission, and shortages in inventory. Outdated systems are in place. Very old fashioned way of running the business that has not been proven to be effective. Outdated software systems with conflicting product pricing and inventory management. Poor communication from upper management and delay in responding to important issues as they arises. There’s no room for upward mobility or future advancement with this company.
