Mes-Life-Safety

The job itself was good, fun and rewarding but you are not truly paid for the hours actually worked. Obviously, you couldn't have any down months in quotes or activity even it was due to a tragic personal event that uncontrollably occurred. 

I loved the fellow colleagues in the field I worked with. 

This position was very political and things said about you were not always the true facts. Never any merit to really back it up, if there was...it was NEVER presented to me!!!!

I was told I had complaints on me but NEVER ONCE was the details shared with me.

Work environment can get very difficult at times

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Doing everything in our location from helping Walkin customer and picking orders and fulfilling orders also checking finished product making sure it good quality work to send out to the customer

Management rarely would follow through, return emails or voice mails in a timely manner and used threats for motivation.  On-boarding was for this position had lack of leadership and left the new employee to figure things out on their own.  They for also being paid commission they never once could produce a commission report on what was paid or subtracted.  We were just left trusting the commissions were correct.  Not sure if that's legal but guessing not?

MES is one of poorly run companies that only cares about the money coming in weekly. I have never seen a company treat is sales team so poorly. Management is disconnected, do as I say, not as I do. I was ridiculed for caring about the customer. Lasted there 3 years, and had to dip into my retirement so I did not lose my house. Bad territory, bad reputation that takes time to turn around. All about the investors and absolutely nothing about the employees. Benefits suck, pay and commission sucked. Stay far away as possible.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay is decent, and the people were enjoyable to work with

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Added responsibilities when an employee would leave, expected to pick up the slack for no compensation 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is good, culture is a bit lackluster 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in, do your job. The people I worked with made the day

At the interview they lead on about high pay with salary and bonuses. In reality, you’re lucky if you ever make a bonus. The benefits are expensive. The work environment is very “highschool” feeling with management trashing employees and the other co workers starting confrontations with eachother. Management only cares about numbers, not the workplace environment. The work vehicles are not maintained and are often dangerous to drive.  The hours are 8-4:30 which also kinda sucks. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Making my own schedule based off customer needs

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to earn enough sales monthly to make any money

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone was very focused on their own thing. Not a terribly helpful crew.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Load truck, service customer stops, pay you earned enough money to make commission.

Inside sales/Customer service, website customer service, assisting service techs and outside sales reps. Shipping, billing service, AR, AP, order entry, expediting, follow-up, Claims, returns, etc. Under staffed, work load intensive most of time. Never received a review or salary bonus or increase while there. Management nice to work with. Too many managers and not enough workers.

While much of the work at MES is independent it is founded on a team culture.  Management is given direction and works with reps and techs to plan to for the region at their discretion.  Each employee has the ability to lead, share ideas, and solve problems.  Employees at all levels are rarely micromanaged.  The team culture make MES the best company to work for in the industry. 

NO base pay, hours worked as a sales person with superior sales track record average out to about 3 bucks an hour.  They will work you to death and then expect more from you.  Poor management upper level and no promotion opportunities from within they hire all of their management from companies they purchase.
