Stay Far Away! - Sales Consultant Stewart Signs Employee Review

Stewart Signs has a genuinely supportive and welcoming culture. The sales team works collaboratively and there is a true sense of teamwork sprinkled with friendly competition. Leadership is approachable, invested in employee success, and provides excellent training and resources to help new team members get up to speed quickly. The company offers flexibility for employees who perform, regular team-building events, and a centrally located office. Having your own workspace is a nice benefit, and the IT team is incredibly responsive and helpful. There also appears to be significant opportunity for professional growth and advancement for individuals who are motivated and willing to learn.

As with any specialized industry, there is a learning curve when first getting started. New employees should be prepared to invest time in learning the products, processes, and terminology. Other than that, my experience was overwhelmingly positive.

The company offers a good work-life balance, the potential to earn a solid income, and a benefits package that is generally competitive

The company suffers from a deeply toxic work environment, starting with blatant favoritism toward certain employees and departments. Only select teams are held to high standards, while others are allowed to operate with little accountability. This double standard breeds resentment and undermines team cohesion. Management is ineffective and disengaged, showing little interest in addressing the unhealthy culture. Instead of promoting fairness or improvement, they enable the dysfunction by staying silent or looking the other way. The president, Josh Brasher, leads through fear and intimidation. Voicing concerns or questioning policies often results in threats to your job, creating an atmosphere of fear rather than trust. Additionally, the company frequently changes policies without notice, often to the disadvantage of employees. Consultants in particular are vulnerable, as the company has a troubling habit of withholding or removing pay with little explanation or recourse.
