Pros

none you're lied to from day one. They are some of the most shady backstabbing people you'll ever meet.

Cons

The company is a scam. They buy parts off eBay, then attempt to rip people off for a profit. literally my 2nd month on the job the upper management told me "the goal of the job is to rip people off, without them realizing it". Um yeah at that point I began to search for a new job. Also the company culture is very sleazy. Look i'm all about having a good time, but these guys are completely unprofessional. Employees literally talk about doing coke on the sales floor in front of everyone.... so grimey. The worst thing about it is the LYING they make you do. They'll have you telling clients a part will arrive in 2 weeks, when they know very well its going to be 2 months. Want proof of how sleazy they are? Allen Bradley a major automated parts manufacturer straight up cut there ties with EU and will no longer allow them to sell their products. This has also happened with a few other companies they used to sell as well ( big shocker) And last but not least, they LIE about the parts they're selling. They'll have you telling clients parts are brand new, and then the part arrives used up and broken. Literally at the end of my employment there, they had to tell reps to stop telling clients parts are "brand new factory sealed" because they know they are a scam. The place is an absolute joke, take my advice and avoid at all costs. The comp plan is a complete joke, and if you're not happy making 40k you certainly wont like it here. For example out of everyone I started and worked with, no one made over 45k. That's pretty shady considering you tell people they're going to make 70k on average.... They had a sales contest with the top prize being a brand new IPAD. This seemed like a great idea, until the contest concluded. Once it was over not only did they not have the IPAD, they gave the winner NOTHING. 0 not even a gift card or something to apologize for the mix up. This scam should pack up and go back across the pond where it belongs.

Pros

None at all terrible place to work!

Cons

I started this company being told I was doing well and then offering me a management job, then management started to make issues out of things that didn’t need to be issues, I got told that I was a team player cause I wasn’t staying past my finishing time even though I was coming in 30 minutes early each day. I was told that people had to go on stop on their stop date and when I did this for one of their biggest customers I got a telling off and got fired, which I think is a terrible reason to be fired. They also make me feel isolated from everyone else, I was working on a desk with three other people and then all of a sudden one day they moved me on my own away from everyone!! AVOID AVOID AVOID If you want to feel appreciated this is not the place for you unless your face fits!!

Pros

Casual environment. Almost too casual. Fellow employees weren't the problem and were always willing to help.

Cons

-The biggest metric management cares about? Phone time, which is monitored and recorded. When you realize most of the people you're cold calling are being cold called all day by other salespeople, they usually don't answer their phones. This is why most salespeople leverage email to promote a value proposition. -Speaking of value proposition, it's really hard to convey one there. They're a middleman, so you're not going to win on price usually. You also won't win on lead time, as a lot of the parts this company sources comes from overseas. -If you're not focused on selling new parts, you're supposed to position obsolete parts, where in many cases these parts are sourced from eBay. Since anybody can access eBay you're not creating any value for the customer. -You will not make much in commission there. Most salespeople weren't making anything beyond base pay, and the 1 or 2 people who made a commission said it was negligible.
