Zero presence as a business in AZ and they don’t market. Logistics are slow, complacent, unprepared and management couldn’t care less.
Products are 2x - 3x the price of comparable products.
There is zero urgency. Delays on everything I needed assistance with such as getting set up as a vendor for large establishments, vendor shows, shipping, invoice changes, etc.
As a sales representative, you pay for half of samples, half of marketing, half of promo and half of your uniforms. Along with at least $1000 monthly in fuel costs for driving around the entire valley. It’s absurd. I have never spent so much out of my own pocket to build a brand for someone else.
Long term sales employees kill it here because management hires people to build a market, fires them due to “lack of sales” and then assigns the accounts you did establish to the existing sales people. Management does not consider feedback and couldn’t care less about making beneficial changes. This is why you have a 76 year old chemical manufacturer with great products only doing $35 million in revenue annually.
