Horrible! Stay away from this company!

Senior field administrator

Pros

Thank God it's only 5 days a week in hell

Cons

Management is horrible! Too busy trying to be buddies with staff instead of running the office. Let's the admin run the company. No training. Nasty attitude towards customers. There is so much drama. It's like a big uncontrolled daycare. This company will never be number one in the elevator business.

Pros

Probably the brand name which means nothing. Just nothing to write more abt it.

Cons

People are made to slog like bulls and donkeys. Sales guys sent to field without any training and a 2g sim and telephone limit of 600rs. They made ppl work even on 31st Dec late night and 1st and even on Christmas. New joiners are shocked at the atmosphere and an absolute deaf hr. They just don't understand that a company is made of spirited individuals not disgusted and absolutely tired ppl. Sometimes 7 days of work.

Carolinas/ Charlotte office is one of the best cultures you could ask for as an employee

Sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- The office managers (particularly in Charlotte) seem to care on employee development and individual success. - if you play your cards right you could make close or over $200k - customers don’t come first, employees come first - Culture is best in class - very little turn over in Carolinas and no one wants to leave - employees get company cars - flexible work hours - Minimal travel unless you sign up for that type of role - Greg Ergenbright seems to “get it”

Cons

- Some HQ contributors aren’t held accountable - P&L targets have ballooned up that are beyond stretch goals - Supply chain needs vast improvement - Vehicles are driven beyond life expectancy.
