"Not Qualified? No Problem! Here's a Promotion!" - Sales Representative Eastern Controls Employee Review

Pros

ECI has so much potential to be a great company. Most of the employees are some of the nicest people I've ever met, and I made great friendships throughout my time there.

Cons

Management at ECI is pathetic, to say the least. It's like a fraternity wherein the entire executive team are power-hungry men. Most of them have been there for years, therefore the "bromance" relationship a lot of them have developed trumps any and all qualifications for certain promotions. This inevitably leads to a management team that have absolutely no idea what they're doing...and it shows. Not only are the management team's abilities less-than-stellar, their attitude towards their employees is even worse. "Not happy? Have constructive criticism? Well, you can leave" is essentially their response to legitimate concerns employees have expressed. If you have an opinion that differs from management's, you'd better be prepared to be dubbed as "negative". Don't bother going to Human Resources with a problem, either. They're in the owner's back pocket and only have the management team’s interests at heart.

Smaller company that’s trying to grow, so growing pains that are natural are hard to deal with

Pros

Staff is great outside of management. Growing company.

Cons

LThey track your every move with a vehicle expense app called Motus. The CEO has a fragile ego and can be very tempermental. They offer bonuses but set unobtainable goals to achieve them and if you defy the odds and do they then try and find excuses not to pay up. Even if your the number 1 sales guy there you will have to fight to get your bonus. Management is all talk but they really don't care about you. They are constantly shuffling accounts which further prevents you from making money. It's like a ponzy scheme design in favor of the company instead of a mutually beneficial relationship between outside sales personnell and the company. They are out of touch instead of technical sales done honestly management would like to see a very robotic used car sales approach. In addition to all that, they don't pay well. I have an offer from somewhere else for double the salary and will be leaving soon.
