Pros

There is nothing good to say about this job or company

Cons

You will be asked to jump through hoops for interview after interview, which will be with people that treat you like you are nothing more than the dirt on their shoe. You will have to answer ridiculous questions and be subjected to your first glimpses of the big boys club another reviewer touched on. You will be given a very untrue view of the company and what your job will be like, note I said VERY UNTRUE view. If you are hired you will then go through your brain washing week....sorry, training week is what they call it at Wurth then you will be tossed into the most miserable, degrading, position you have ever held as a sales professional. You will be expected to work 8-5 and then another few hours of your own time EVERY night. You will get no help from your "manager" because they are all too busy covering their own tracks to make sure their job isn't lost. If you speak up at all, you will be pushed out of the "clique" that is the upper management and way Wurth runs its daily business. Unattainable targets, and impossible growth numbers are the name of the game here. Wurth is out of touch and getting worse. Management is not popular with the 99% of employees, but most put up with it to keep their jobs that they need.. Taking a job here means leaving your pride at the door, and hating the everyday work life Wurth provides. Do yourself a favour, steer clear.

Pros

Car, phone, training, varying work days.

Cons

This used to be a good company to work for. During interviews and when you are first hired you will be told how much potential income you can make and that a standard work day in the field is from 8am to 5pm. Don't be fooled, it's the perfect job if you don't need a good reliable income. You will be bombarded with unnecessary paperwork (in the name of accountability and to make sure the managers butt is covered) and lots of added hours at night looking after order entries. If you are one of the few reps in the company that is in the "boys club" then management will look after you well. Keep in mind that this only amounts to about maybe 5% of the reps within the company. As for the rest of the reps you will be told to continuously sign up and reactivate customers and try to justify the outlandish pricing for products that used to be unique only to Wurth. Just make sure you don't complain to much about it as you will be black listed by management and they will find a quick and easy way to eliminate you from their workforce. You will find lots of double standards and favoritism from upper management as well. " Do as I say and not as I do" should be the company motto. If you do happen to make some kind of decent sales then you can look forward to either a territory split or a 15%+ guaranteed target increase at the beginning of every year. They will lead you into a false sense of security by telling you a "guarantee" will be given to you for a limited time and this will allow you to build your territory. The territories are so small now that you will not be able to maintain managements absurd demands. This is how they will control you and what little money you will make. This company is on a downhill slide and picking up speed. Don't believe the hype!

Pros

Opportunities for advancement are endless. You will be noticed as a rising star and clearly recoginized for the effort you put forth. Management is very willing to listen to ideas and work on ways to make the company better. As an employee, I truly feel my voice is beig heard.

Cons

Every company has cons, the biggest opportunity for improvement is getting some more staff so the employees aren't spread as thin.
