Pros

Company Car Represent excellent quality products

Cons

Regional Management layer will protect themselves at ALL costs. Many very solid sales leaders were witch hunted out the door through HR pressure tactics directed at field staff. Staff felt pressured to give a poor report. Targeted Leaders were those viewed as a talent threat to the Regional Mgmnt positions.

Pros

Car, cell phone, paychecks that surprisingly don't bounce, free business cards, small and ineffective expense account that allows you to buy one person lunch per month.

Cons

Massive employee turnover, surprised they don't issue digital name tags as a cost saving measure. Constant cutbacks, smaller car, more restrictions, lower pay, lower commissions, more work, more paperwork in the name of accountability. Management is delusional thinking that paying $30-40k per year is 'industry standard'. Constant unrealistic expectations of 20-30 percent growth in recessionary economy. Don't offer products customers want and what we do offer is double, triple or more the price from competition. Management's attitude towards employees is anybody can do your job and you are easily replaced. Lots of meaningless red tape to get simple things done. Very demotivating working environment. Deceptive practices towards customers, and towards you as an employee. They use your relationship with your customer to push overpriced products on customers, which makes you look like a thief in the eyes of your customer. Selling the most expensive product in the industry requires skills and abilities which Wurth is unwilling to pay for.

Pros

Great quality products, solid marketing department, limited backorders, company car, gas card, etc. Overall a well run company with solid customer service. I would have gladly worked there till retirement.

Cons

Can only use Wurth as a resume builder. Establish some solid salse metrics then move on if you are looking at Wurth, in any country. They are in total denial of the "exodus" of sales reps and why they are leaving as one recruiter called it. Over my 10 plus years with Wurth I built my territory up into one of the best ones in Canada. When all was said and done, I made LESS MONEY my last year with the company than I did in my first. Yes, they took all the growth and more, FACT ! Too add to that, my boss and HR were surprised when I gave my 2 week notice, unreal !
