Good Company to Work For
Senior Customer Service (Current Employee), Tennessee – February 28, 2013
Pros: benefits, co-workers
I've been with Motion over thirty years. They have been very good to me. Started out filing and answering the phone, have advanced to Senior Customer Service. Have had several opportunities to advance to management, but was not interested.
I really just want to say about the bad reviews, please take them with a grain of salt.. Sour Grapes and all that. – more... No company is perfect, but Motion Industries is one of the best.
Several of our vendors have commented that Motion has a lot of long time employees throughout their 500+ branches. That speaks volumes. – less

Accounts Payable (Former Employee), Jacksonville, FL – February 11, 2013
Pros: great managers
Cons: no long term positions
Answering customer calls about account status, prepare vendor payments, assisted managers with reports and payment flow status. What I learned the most was customer service skills and how to handle problems or issues with accounts. I loved working with such eager and helpful people. The hardest part was trying to calculate balances during issues on – more... accounts. – less

Bottom line is all that matters
Territory Rep (Former Employee), Memphis Tn – November 7, 2012
Pros: computer, internet, and vehicle provided at minimal cost to you
Cons: long work hours, too many corporate contract accounts which equates to low margins and minimal commissions
Typical day is 14-16 hrs with customers and homework
Learning is by chance. Your time will be monopolized by work load
Management is shrewd and misleading. You are a number
Co workers are knowledgable but as a tight immature click
Hardest part is fighting unrealistic expectations. There is an unspoken law that sacrifices mental stability and family – more... relationships to service the customer. You will be tracked in every way without your knowledge. Compensation is better than most but when figured into hours worked its minimal. – less

MEtoolong – February 5, 2013

Former employee If you can handle rude interRuptive vulgar language in the office with no support from managment this is the place for you. In fact you can take training classes with total non mechanicle idiots. in a dangerous enviroment. they still dont care. This branch manager should be fired, and upper managment dont give a ___. as long as the ole mighty dollar is present THE WORST COMPANY I'VE EVER WORKED FOR!!! YES ITS IN CAPITAL LETTERS!!

click – February 28, 2013

Really? I've found that to be opposite in my case. Have totally been supportive of my family relationships, but then, I guess I belong to the tight immature click

contractor/warehouse (Former Employee), Waukegan, IL – October 15, 2012
Pros: free lunches, good co-workers
Cons: work/pay rate, understaffed
Productive but laid back atmosphere for the most part. At times the warehouse was understaffed due to the hiring freeze, which caused work to be stressful and overwhelming. Most Co-workers were very helpfull and understanding. The hardest part of the job was on days we were understaffed, the workload was just too much. The most enjoyable part of the – more... job was the laid back days when you could catch up on your work and not be stressed out. – less

Motion Industries
Inside Sales/Shipping and Receiving (Former Employee), Pelham, NY – August 28, 2012
Pros: great work environment
Cons: there are not that many companies like them.
Motion Industries is a great place to work. The atmosphere is relaxed but professional. They have over 550 locations and all the staff are very helpful. The company has a whole, works as a team which is very refreshing. The job was very easy; inside sales and customer service are things that I am very good at so being in an office position always makes – more... me comfortable. The hardest part of the job was not being able to help certain customers because the things they where looking for are no longer in use. It was great working for the company because management was very knowledgeable, always willing to help and very understanding. – less

Exciting enviroment, friendly people, competitive salary
Intergrated Supply Rep (Current Employee), Glasgow, KY – August 18, 2012
Pros: we have flexible lunches, safety contests, some good benefits, and opportunities to advance.
Cons: we are short handed, which causes us to work a lot of nights and weekends, the drive takes about an hour one way, it is very dusty and dirty.
We manage a tool crib in the motor vehicle industry. I come in before the day shift starts in order to supply the employees with their proper personal protective equipment (PPE) items. I then run a usage and replenishment report from the previous day. After the shift change is over, I then run the daily buy list report of the items needed to be purchased – more... and replenished. Around 10 each morning the daily receivable items come in to be received and put up in stock. At the end of the week I do the weekly billing of all the items received. I work with two other co-workers that have their own duties. During the day there is myself and the site manager that works. At all times I am available for the employees when they need various items for their machines. I also assist the maintenance personnel in locating machine parts. All during the day, when time permits, I source various parts for cost savings. Some of the hardest work is trying to find a certain part, that we don't stock, for a very old machine. I enjoy the relationships I have developed over the years with the people the most. – less
