bisco industries Reviews

Pros

consistent schedule, salaried, fair bonus structure. Kind of forgiving of error.

Cons

Very cold book of business in my specific position.

Pros

Positive outlook on growth with company

Cons

Diversity isn’t a strong point.

Pros

Easy work for entry level

Cons

Corporate management is from the dark ages and good ole boys club.

Pros

TLDR: Good experience builder for new workers, recognizable company, Ok benefits. This company is fairly easy to get hired with, as they need lots of people to tackle the problems per their business model. It provides a good resume builder for fresh college graduates, as the company is widely recognized in the supply chain/Aerospace industries. The company offers decent time off, and there are many sale's offices across the country. Each department has a decent culture amongst itself, and makes it easy to make friends. Note a college degree/education is NOT required to excel at Bisco, a good attitude and capable skills can take you far. Bonus pay is possible if an employee has a decent desk. Health Insurance is offered and it is fine, same with 401K.

Cons

TLDR: Old school nepotism, not progressive at all, workers are just numbers and warm bodies. The upper management is all family members of the owner and CFO. There is very littler interdepartmental training, and as such there is a huge Siloing effect present at the company. The company pays 10% below market value for every position as a part of the company policy. The company is not progressive socially IE: expect to be rewarded with jelly beans and cookies instead of a livable wage. The company has the ability to offer remote work, but instead forces employees that are sick to either work in office or use their sick time. Many employees have worked in office with covid due to this policy. Bonuses are purely dependent on if a desk is profitable or not, there is little an employee can do to change this.

Pros

One of the easiest jobs once you get the hang of it.

Cons

Micromanaged and annoying that you can’t work remote full time. They give you 12 days a year.

Pros

You will earn a promotion

Cons

Upper Management has no authority, HR is law, be prepared to be micromanaged.

Pros

Health insurance 40 hour work week Weekly pay

Cons

Weak salary, especially considering how much they expect from Sales. Absolutely terrible bonus structure In office full time High turnover rate (for good reasons) Out of date systems

Pros

The only pro in my opinion is that there is an uncapped bonus, so there is potential to make good money. But to have that opportunity, you actually have to have good accounts.

Cons

It doesn't matter how hard you work here, if you're not given good accounts to start, you'll never make good money. I started with all $0 accounts and turned around a majority of them to be some of the bigger accounts in our office. Despite working my tail off every single day, I was barely making my quotas because they were still smaller companies, not doing huge orders every single day. They are also terrible on time off/vacation - if you want to go on a 1 week vacation, you better not use a single hour of vacation or sick days for at least 6 months or else you won't have the time. Also, despite the fact that they claim it's easy to work your way up in this company, they will always give the better role to someone with bigger accounts just so they don't have to pay out big bonuses monthly... whether they're good at their job or not. Management is definitely not good either.

Pros

Friendly on site work environment

Cons

Should have hybrid schedule for employees

Pros

Uncapped bonus potential great benefits promotion opportunities great company values long term outlook on business has never laid anyone off, never been bought or sold company car and local office work environment

Cons

backend system could be more refined, more automated a lot of departments outside sales have a lot of manual entry, causes errors to crop up. sales manager incur all expenses in their budget, and bonus off net profit. ever your own bonus comes out of your department. raises and reviews are done in a competitive group, so where you rank against your peers determines you raise. there can be a lot of "not my job" mentality between departments. changes take a lot time to be implemented. certain positions could use a change in personnel, but long standing employees tend to stay in those positions, even when they are not effective.
