Pros

If you have ever worked with Travers Tool either as an employee or a supplier you will consistently hear the same thing - the people are great. Yes, there are a few bad apples but try to find a company that doesn't have a few. The vast majority of employees care about the business and the quality of work they produce. Also, the owners are very nice guys. Ever work for a company with "nightmare" ownership or bosses? This is not the case with the owners and most of the bosses. Lastly, there is room for advancement and compensation so long you produce.

Cons

Back to the bad apples - a few people at the organization really need to move on.

Thank you for the review, the advice and your tenure here at Travers. We agree with you that the people here are great, and we are taking steps to see that each employee has a path for advancement within the organization. To that end, we have recently began to introduce formalized career paths in an effort to both improve retention and attract more great people to our team (or good apples as you might refer to them). We care and are actively listening to the feedback of employees- both current and former, in a continual effort to improve and make Travers the best workplace it can be.

Pros

The product catalog is good and customers like the sales flyers.

Cons

The biggest challenge to growing sales or bringing new customers is due to a high number of internal problems. There is a high employee turnover due to the owner refusing to pay competitive wages or invest in employee training. Supplier support is also bad in the field because they have very little or no relationship at all with corporate management in NY. Customers often have inconsistent experiences, making it hard to compete. Poor stocking levels result in many back orders and multiple shipments over many days. There are also too many shipping errors, and the ball was often dropped by customer support. All of these things force the sales people to spend a lot of time fixing problems, When you are finally able to convince a new customer to place an order, your biggest fear is the ball being dropped.
