Does anyone have any information about working there currently? Is it still the same, or have they relaxed a bit? How is the chicago office, do you have to travel a lot, what are the hours and pay like?
It will always be the same!!!! Can you read? These posts date back to years and it is the same thing, month after month and year after year. The owner PETE continues to through BS at new candidates telling them that this is the greatest place to work and that they can make tons of money. Both of these are completely untrue!!!!! What is guaranteed is that you will have a different comp plan at least twice per year, you will face the threat of being fired every month after month three when PETE realizes that you are not able to meet the extremely un-realistic sales goals, you will be required to travel a minimum of 8 nights per month and that does not include going to meetings where you will give up weekend days on a routine basis. PETE monitors your expense reports for hotel nights and if you don't do 8 per month which will be stated in your offer letter, you will run the risk of being fired. Most reps actually book hotel nights and then go home just so they don't have to deal with this BS. Another guarantee is that you will have a business plan to sell a specific product and will build that pipeline and work hard to meet the goal set for you with no historic foundation and then after 6 months, you will be forced to sell somehting else. Is it OC Light, OC Auto, ESR, uuuuuuuuu it just depends on which product has too much inventory in NY.
As for the Chicago office. It is the nicest Ghost Town you will ever visit. It was set up with the promise (lie) of staffing it with 20 inside sales people and I believe it is now down to 1 person total. When you go there for training, you will immediately wonder why did I choose this company!!!!!! If you like working for a boss with mental problems who abuses his employees this is the place for you. If not, STAY AWAY. One final word of advise. The only people who stay there for the long term (there are 4) are there becasue they have part ownership in the company and are hoping for a big pay day when the company sells. If they could, they would all get out now but they are in too deep. What a misserable place to work!
