Many. The base salary I received was $57,000 with an MBA and years of industrial sales experience. No real benefits. No corporate credit card, they want you to use your money and reimbure you. You get about 22 cents per mile for gas. They will tell you before they hire you that you can have a home office. Then you find out that they really want you in the office constantly and monitor you all day and if you do do any home office work you have to pay for all supplies yourself. They are cheap with the cell phones and have you on a tight leash with normal data. The on boarding is so bad and they do not know how to train people. I was extensively trained by Grainger, and Graybar's training was a joke. We discussed my family obligations prior to my hire and they did not honor that, they do not respect working mothers, and do not care. They give you a Ford Fusion after 3 months and you have to drive your car till then. It was so bad it was a waste of my time is my only regret. When I was there I couldn't believe I had done this to myself. I felt like I was tricked. People in office are nice but depressed and miserable. I felt sorry for them. My supervisor was a hot mess. Religious freak and just awkward. He had a weak personality and just a weak leader. He was lazy and had no training plan at all. Not competitive in price and DO NOT PAY OUT COMMISSIONS. Again, I am so detailed so they can clearly figure out who I am. Oh and their IT department is the secretary. Don't apply. Run. They hired 2 people before me and the one kid came in had a cup of coffee and left. They other man, left less than a month. The other sales reps won't help you. Try it. You will remember this review.
