Artesian Bottleless Water

I have not been here a long time, but so far I like what I see. Because all the offices are small and people are spread out, sometimes it does not feel like a connection with people who do your same job, but you are able to connect with the people in your location. My manager is a great manager. He does not micromanage and I appreciate that, why add to the stress? It is a pretty relaxed atmosphere here. In a typical day, I come in, make phone calls to potential customers and try to schedule appointments for the sales people. It can become frustrating at times, as there is a lot of cold calling involved so it takes awhile to build that pipeline, but if you stick to it and make the calls, the appointments will come. I would say the cold calling is the hardest part of the job. The best part of the job is the people I work with. The sales manager that runs our office always makes sure we have plenty of our favorite snacks on hand in the office, so when you do get frustrated you can take a short break and grab a snack.

Coming from my last job, I had a bad taste in my mouth from that experience. Working at Artesian has been a complete 180. Everyone is truly invested in one another and tries to make sure we work as a team to achieve and exceed our goals while maintaining an atmosphere where everyone matters. I have never worked for a business with this many people where the owner engages with everyone on staff no matter their position or title and takes the time to remember your spouses names and children’s names because he really cares about you as more than just an employee but instead as a person. People constantly are saying how happy and lucky they are to be working here but even more important is they are being genuine when saying it. That is such a rare thing in this world but so true at Artesian.

This was a good company with kind people unfortunately the communication with satellite office such as mine wasn't the best. Instead of changing procedures processes and protocols the reflection went unto the individual when the demographics for my area needed to be improved and my territory needed to be expanded and my leads needed to be followed up when my sales girl quit instead of the ball being dropped. They should have listened to me and done anything to follow up with me and my commissions should have paid out better per cooler sold also everyone should have had the ability to work from home. Nice people needed some subtle changes ans it could have been a real career. Instead they sick another employee on your territory. 

A typical day at work here at Artesian would be making calls and scheduling appointments for our sales reps. Its also filled with tons of encouragement and support not only from our Managers,but from all of our reps across the board. We all lift each other up and build each other up. As we are not just a team here at Artesian, but more like a family. Its a fun place to work,with a positive environment and I would say there is no hard part about this job because we here at Artesian are very well take care of. The best part about this job is knowing how much we are appreciated and that makes it very easy to wake up every day and look forward to coming to work.

You will not grow or learn with this company.  There is an immediate threshold to your career with Artesian.  Only the lead tech (one per state) gets a raise of 1$ after a year of doing the lead tech job.  That is, you get hired, you work for a year, become eligible for lead tech (if there isn't one already), be lead tech for a year, then you get the dollar raise.  

You receive no real training.  They don't teach you how to repair the machines, then yell at you when you can't.

They will pay $23 an hour starting, no more.  

Basic work, not hard whatsoever.  

Beware jobs that instantly give you business cards.  It's a cheap ploy to keep you interested in the job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Upper Management was great to work with. They were apart of your week to week and your success 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting your self generated appointments setup after being on the job for a longer time.  Going back to the same companies. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Have a great culture and made the job fun. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Drop into 20 businesses a day to try to meet a decision maker and setup two appointments while running two appointments that day.

The Artesian office in Houston, TX has a great culture and is very inclusive. The salesmen are out in the field everyday and only in the office seldomly so it’s mostly isolating if there’s not another bdr in the office with you.  Overall, I was happy with how well I did in this position and my managers were extremely kind and supportive. Only giving 4 stars because of the compensation but it’s great if you need a job fast and if you put in the work you will get the results. And the water is great! 

Lots of cold calling. A lot of self accountability. If you like money and are good at sales, you will succeed. Cool presidents club trips. You earn what you put into this position. You can make tons of money if you are good at it, they give you tons of tools to succeed. It's a grind. annoying Monday morning meetings, but most of the time very flexible. Management would rather be strung out for a while and spend less on internal organization at times. 

It’s very much a family type of work environment, very supportive and encouraging. Everyone has been so open with sharing knowledge, and all I’ve encountered have had incredible patience while I’ve learned the ins and outs of the job. The opportunity for advancement in your career is there, as the company is VERY rapidly growing. Flexibility, benefits, management,  company events, and pay are all great.

People were nice and enjoyable to be around. Unfortunately there was no real guidance on the position I was given and was let go after a month. Yes. A month. No plan for performance to increase. The company owner is amazing, but the person who handles BDR is not the right person for the job. Shame on you.
