poor management
Marketing Associate (Former Employee), pittsburgh, pa – October 15, 2012
Pros: quality products
Cons: poor upper management
Very poor upper management with no concern for their customers success. This division bases their success on their customers not checking weekly prices and their sales reps increasing prices weekly without customers knowledge. There is a reason why this division has so much turnover and is constantly hiring Sales Reps. This is not a career position – more... so if you want to work long term for a company do not seek employment here! – less

Pros: self earnings
Cons: price fighiting
A typical day: Up at the crack of dawn, review my daily goals and hit the street running. Take care of my current customers and their needs, show them new and exiting products and recipes that can help profitize them a bit more. When my customers were all set for the day I would cold call to build my business and create new accounts and contacts. Management: – more... My Management team was very supportive and would assist in any way I needed them to. Co-workers: I was in good standing with all co-workers being on the road most of the day in sales we would mostly only see each other at sales meetings or from time to time we would cross paths at the office. Price fighting with other competitors in the field.Over coming that fight through product knowledge and cuttings of product when the customer saw the value in what I was showing them. – less
