Meyer Laboratory, Inc.

(Mississippi) Job is decent and pay is decent as well. Your overall experience depends on your location and who your manager is.  You will do a LOT of driving. I was told during interview process I would be driving about 500 miles a week but I averaged 1500-2000 miles a week.  As an account manager/technician, you are responsible for all deliveries and service calls for customers.  You will have salary + commission but your manager is strictly commission who makes his $$ on each delivery you make plus new accounts that are set up.  Your manager will not care how many miles you’ve driven, and will send you on a delivery on a vacation day just so he can get his $$.  It’s almost a losing situation you are put in with the service, because you are expected to cold call and sell too.  They will tell you that you will get one office day a week but it got to the point that I had one about every 4 weeks.  When you get familiar with the territory and customers, corporate will tell you to make your own schedule but your manager will constantly change it.  As long as you do every single thing he wants you to do, you will be ok.  Once you start to resist, or express some things that are bothering you, watch your back. You will be asked to “have his back” quite a bit on things like inventory and him giving customers different products than they actually ordered but don’t expect the same treatment. I met a lot of nice people within the company and know for a fact that others with the same job title don’t have that same experience.. Like I said, depends on your location.. At the end of the day, it’s all about that money with these guys.  

I have to get this off my chest. The work culture at Meyer is Inauthentic! There I said it! It outwardly gives the appearance that we all are the best of friends and everyone is having such a blast here but in reality we are isolated in dead quiet rooms alone 8 hrs a day from everyone else in our team as well as others in the building that we barely speak to and we are only allowed out when we are herded out like cattle briefly during times someone has something to celebrate for a photo op. Everyone talks and promotes "culture culture culture because we are told to by upper management  and do so out of fear of being the odd one out or the non team player but in reality the rest of us all talk about how bogus this is and  it is getting super irritating. Also the micromanagement in the Sales Department is completely unnecessary, management needs to stop adding stress to an already stressful position and give us time to breathe. True culture and company initiative is apparent not just during the bare minimal times it is convenient to appear like it's the norm.

Not a positive environment anymore. Under the old guys they seemed to care about the reps, their success, their families. Now the communication is so poor you don't even know who the district manager is from one day to the next. Try getting in touch with one, good luck. And every paycheck you can look for a few hundred bucks to be gone from your pay. You pay for everything. Charge backs, where a customer skimps on payment, comes out of your pay. Customer finally pays? Too bad. Meyer gets their cut, you don't. Have a little extra in your warehouse? You pay for that as well. They make enough money on charge backs and inventory to pay salaries. It's a rip off.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Unprofessional environment, incompetent ego driven leadership, blatant disregard to employee safety, and pay isn't anywhere near competitive for the industry.
Don't do it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Personal safety and operational fluency are big problems with this company. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unprofessional and laziness is the culture here. They take advantage of hard worker's and let the lazy workers just skate by doing very little.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Getting confused on what's needed and receiving chemical burns

Not a horrible place to work. Some of the people are nice but management is hands off. For some this may be a good thing but I didn’t like it. The goal setting exercise they do every year is robotic. Meyer is very good at disguising corporate bureaucracy but it’s there. No room for growth. There were no raises for several years until recently and that was only about $40 per check which won’t even buy a tank of gas. They cater to the sales force and leave the grunts who handle day-to-day operations in the dust. There are better companies to work for. Keep looking.

Great company to work for.  They have an awesome training program that gets you up to speed and in the field selling in no time.  If you follow the process you will be extremely successful.  Pay is salary plus commissions after you hit your target number monthly.  You really do control what you make.  Awesome culture and great group of people to work with.

Typical work day is B2B sales prospecting,demonstrating products, completing sales orders. Management is lost and workplace culture is low. Communication is very slow to get responses from corporate. Delayed shipping times for orders causing logistical nightmares for potential clients. 

In my position I had a poor department manager,  wanted production,  but failed to provide adequate materials to complete my assignments often stopping a project build. Training was lack luster and inefficient tools.



You don't know what you are going to be doing day by day always and your lead and supervisor will be little you and tell you what you want to hear just to break that promise they told you and when they are mad they will started throwing stuff and cuss 

But for HR and office people they are all nice and respectful 

Meyer Lab is a great place to work.  Family atmosphere, great culture, everyone gets along.  Management sets clear expectations for each role and is there to help provide support to help you succeed.  Great work/life balance and fun work hard/play hard mentality.  Everyone has a 'team player' mindset.
