Silencer Central reviews

The CEO lies every year in interviews about the yearly sales numbers to fluff his egocentric personality. He reports 100 million in sales when really it ranges from a third to half that. He also brags about himself daily in the company wide morning meetings "Scrum" bringing up any lawsuits he's in and that he "doesn't care how much money he has to spend, as long as those (expletive) don't win." The company can't keep a Sales Manager (SEVEN in 5 years!) because sales decisions are now ultimately made by the COO who is a Sanford Profile dropout and knows nothing about sales. He also openly complains throughout the company how the top sales representatives "make too much money." The CEO has now given him control of the quotas which trend every year to sell WAY more yet the sales reps make the same or less despite the increased performance. All while the CEO continues to pat himself on the back that he "pays his sales guys the best in the state". They don't even give sales representatives a commission report. Some have created our own tracker which prove constantly thousands of dollars in discrepancies most months, but NOTHING is done when brought up. They don't even know how to pull the report in their "upgraded" system (NetSuite or as employees call it "NotSuite") and they fired the only guy that did. Great employees in all departments are let go without notice or explanation and if you disagree with either the CEO/COO on anything. Some of which that moved their families across the country to work there. Most people just stay quiet with the constant employee/customer complaints due to the risk of getting fired. Employees joke about an "8 month rule" because that is the longest most department's employees make it due to constant turnover from the culture or getting fired. Then if fired, they have no plan of action for that persons workload and just dump it on others in the department then critique them for delays in their normal daily workload. Silencer Central used to be such a great place to work... Don't waste your time and be part of the joke at "Sanford Central."

Culture, dishonesty, leadership issues. If you're willing to put up with these red flags go ahead and apply. It's unfortunate and surprising such a successful company can have so many internal issues and employee turnover being so high. This is nothing new and even with added leadership during their growth hasn't changed this. Dishonestly started even during the interview process which didn't come to light until after employment. Leadership points the finger instead of assuming responsibility, operations has been a mess for years with the same individual leading operations. Their values are: customer and integrity equals winning, but they only seem to care to win. Integrity is not word I would use to describe this company. There are some good people there who hold things together and create success, but they will never be rewarded for their effort besides disingenuous words from company leaders. Employees are too worried about losing their job than to speak up about the issues, those that do with the intention of benefitting the customer and the company often do.
