Lack of speed In escalating issues

Not much room for advancement past a certain level. HR's open door policy is not much of an open door

Pros

Personally, my pay and commissions are acceptable. My benefits are acceptable . The company tries its best and means well. I do like the people that I work with. Very hard working and dedicated employees.

Cons

It's a shame that someone deleted every undesirable comment posted between 11/19 to the present. That should tell you something. The current rating is totally skewed to make it look better than it actually is Folks, to summarize, the company is in a state of confusion and flux. Management being let go and their positions not being filled. Same story, can't release products on time. Support staff is too lean. Training is poor and incomplete. The backorders on critical products is absolutely unacceptable. No plan B. If Plan A doesn't work.....Oh well!!Company out of touch with the market, as to what it takes to compete and win in today's selling environment . The 15 year old selling strategies strategies are just out dated. Very hard to trust management. My advice to anyone considering a job here is this: Stay away until the company is on firmer soil, or gets purchased. Not a good time to work here. Managements job is to tell you what you want to hear.
