A long downhill slog.

Pros

None anymore. Was once a fantastic company, with good benefits and a great atmosphere.

Cons

Upper management cannot see the forest for the trees. Shortsighted, micromanaged, lousy place to spend 1/3 of your life. Bad pay structure, infighting among sales almost encouraged. No camaraderie at all. Sad to watch the de-evolution. Owners have all but given up.

Pros

I have been with Classic for over 4 years and was very encouraged and full of energy in the first two years but in the last two years, the company has been through dramatic changes in employees and management. It is a great entry level company and that is it. It is a debt free company as well however I have not seen the current employees that have been employed 6-20+ years with many positives since I arrived.

Cons

Because Classic is privately owned and privately funded, the salary and promotion process does not follow the normal or regular process. It took over a year for me to get a $2 raise and that was with constant reminders to management. I'm sure if I did not push the issue, it would of been delayed much longer. Old database from 1985 - DOS which you will find yourself using the F-keys frequently. Company has not advanced technologically to the level of it's competitors. You can be a manager when you serve 5-6+ years or when the current managers retire. Extremely high employee turnover...resignations or terminations, especially in the sales department. Unless you've been with the company for 16+ years and know components well, sales/purchasing in the electronic components field appear to be difficult for any new sales associate.

Pros

You are not micro-managed. There are some very good and helpful people in the company (too bad they're not running the show).

Cons

No formal training, sales department environment is 'dog eat dog', no team unity. Many obstacles in place for order approval and processing, leaving you feeling as if the company is trying to kill every one of your deals. Everyone from management down appear to do what they want with little to no accountability and/or follow through.
