What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Contractor relationships are imperative to have a happy workforce. That is not conducive in San Diego.
Review from Admin Dept
Equity conditions may needs to clean house. Fire 60-70 percent and start over. Awful communications. Support. Get honest people with integrity.
Completey change culture. Get rid of managers that have been there for over 10 years. Change the meat grinder mentality. Respect sales reps and their opinions. Stop extreme nepotism. Managers to sales reps. As long as you have been there for 10 years you will get best leads.
Unorganized and unorganized with no clear direction.
Allow reps to control more of the pricing instead of making them call in to beg for a discount for their client.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Constantly moving the goal post. There's no such thing as a bonus at Empire anymore.
Review from Admin Dept
Actually make bonuses attainable and realistic!
Higher payout. Stupid having people drive 4-5 hours a day to make $50-$100. Ridiculous. Extreme nepotism. At mercy of unscrupulous and dishonest managers. Only helping a few reps Let others fail and suit. They don’t care at all about sales reps. Brutal low pay
The company pays you an average to blow up her salary to work seven days a week.
Long hours, very stressful environment.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Get honest and supportive sales managers and leaders.
If managers were leaders than that would influence the people under them in a healthier work environment.
They weren't trained properly. Companies fault
There is no orderly methods in place. So everyone is all over the place. If there was some type of realistic order then I would enjoy my co workers more.
Review from HR Dept
Everyone is really stressed. It causes a survival of the fittest type atmosphere. No one takes accountability for their own faults or portion of business. Customers are constantly complaining about service, because our departments cannot work well together.
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Once again. Better Contractor relationships. Not fear mongering.
Review from Admin Dept
Actually know how to run the business and build plans that will actually improve results.
Ask sales reps to do a review of sales managers and regional managers. Installation group. Make sure it’s anonymous. Chicago area is terrible. Low morale. Everyone quits after 6-12 mont
Change management team. Get 360 feedback from sales reps. Stop nepotism and revenge.
My Sales Manager is always looking for negatives which he uses as controlling over supervision. He makes me feel like he demands obedience to his request or comments which is usually insulting to my intelligence and 50 years in direct sales and marketing experience. Micro Management is insulting.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Not sure. It took about 6 weeks
. The company needs better managers that know what they’re doin
Terrible experience and both the hiring people left
They didnt care who they hired i think
Review from Sales Dept
The Sales Manager needs to be retrained on communication with a diverse team. Obedience is NOT required like a child.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Everything. Old school mentality. Sakes techniques from 1990’s. Respect people. Management does not respect anyone. It’s like they do everything possible to destroy com
Everything. Stop allowing one manager to give out lesds. Makes mmo sense
Material needs to be improved and the corporate leadership needs to pay people what they’re wort
Take action and personally check on individuals. Leadership act like everything is ok because they probably have decent compensation
The sales promos are only on very few products and they are deceptive on the wording in the ads
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
HIgher Management playing favoritism and HR letting them get away with it.
