On The Go Hosiery

This is the easiest job one could have. The problem with the job  is the owner of the company.  This company has a high turnover rate because of the ownership. Constant micromanaging and disrespect have caused numerous new hires to quit within a week or two. Needless to say the work environment and moral are terrible.  I have personally heard the owner criticize most of his supervisors in front of me and all the supervisors I've had criticize the owner and other coworkers.  This is the culture of this company. This is the environment the owner has nurtured.  To go along with the work environment this company does not give raises. I have never had a raise in years and none of my coworkers have had raises either. Training is terrible with this company.  There is no structured or formal training program. Training is either by phone or riding along with a supervisor for a day or two and then left to work on your own afterwards.  Most route salesman will call other salesman to learn how to do the job since training is so poor. I could say alot more about this company and job but I will finish with this. This is what you will not be told about this job. Salesman are paid a salary plus commission.  When weather is hot and during the summertime your commission/pay will drop alot. You can expect your commission to drop 50%to 75% during this time. This could be $500 -$1000 less per month you will make. This will last from may/june to September/October.  This is 5-6 months of a large drop in pay. Quite a few of my coworkers rely on there income tax refund to get them thru this time.


A typical day at work consists of working with various vendors all over the nation to confirm invoices and statements. I learned so much from the company from Excel functions to Sage100 Functions, Bmobile, Microsoft Teams, and more. The management at the company is spearheaded by the CEO who directly works with the warehouse manager, Sales rep manager, Data Analyst, and lead Accountant. The workplace culture is nurturing to an extent and is always busy as each individual sector is contantly making improvements and modifications. The hardest part about the position were the slow days when everyone else was waist deep in work but would not allow you to help them. The other difficult days were the 11 and 12+ hour days where a task couldn't wait so we stayed way past overtime to try and make something work. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing the data analyst improve, the new/old accountant absolutely kill her job catching the company all the way up in the matter of a month and a half, and working directly with the warehouse manager who was providing all sales reps with products and all ecommerce customers with there orders. 

This place is the worst place to work! (Atlanta Office) The workplace culture is impersonal and dated with no morale. The owners are the Managers/HR but are never there working, the pay is low, and the medical benefits are very expensive ($400 per month) with a very high deductible (over $9,000).  There are no promotional opportunities, PTO, FMLA, Life Insurance or Work from home option (Even though Management will work from home, but employees can't).  The office furniture is old definitely from the 1980s, the office chairs are broken down and the office equipment is very outdated!  It is NEVER clean; trash cans are always full and running over and the bathrooms are filthy! There are no COVID pre-cautions in place at all.  There are always HUGE payroll errors every pay period with employee's checks not having the right amount or receiving paychecks 2 to 3 days late!  There is ABSOLUTELY NO TRAINING most of the time you have to figure out how to do your job. The turn-over is very high, several people have only stayed a few days and never shown back up. 
Short staff due to high turnover and the communication is terrible!  Do not apply to work here because you will definitely regret it!  

This is regarding the Atlanta GA office, not the Beltsville MD office.  There is a very high staff turnover - so no job stability.  The business is managed by the owners who do not care about staff and speak badly about staff and look down on staff. If someone is sick or has some emergency no sympathy is shown by management, as their main concern is when will the work get done.  No proper onboarding or training is given. The work load is extremely high - one persons is expected to do the job of 2 or more persons and for less than the pay that the job of one person is worth.  

On The Go Hosiery is a great place to work.  The compensation and commissions are very competitive.  Their benefits are good and there is room for advancement. They promote from within so as long as you do your job well, there is a lot of room for advancement.  The management, especially tyhe CEO, is very hands on and always available.  The managers are nice and easy to work with.  The office staff helps a lot when needed.  Generally, the job culture is very good.  I have seen some negative reviews but they are all for the Maryland/NE office which is a totally separate entity.

I sold more displays incrementally in the first three months then most did in a year and was never appreciated for it. The only benefit you get is health insurance the first year. The rest of the benefits you have to wait a year and that includes time off. This concept of no days off for a year is a dated concept much like there equipment they use for the job. It’s funny if you make a small mistake you will be called out immediately but they don’t recognize your sales of incremental displays. This is not a safe place to work  if you are an older worker because the owner can fire you immediately without just cause. Be careful!

They will tell you all kinds of things that they will do for you, and it will never happen. Training is very sub par. The job is not explained to you very well at all. The hours required to do the job they want you to do are not normal (4am start times) and you will not be able to get done what is required in a normal 40-45 hour work week. You will be told you will manage your own route then be micro managed by someone that is in Atlanta and has no idea how your route works. If your okay with 60% of what they tell you being false or just not telling you at all, you'll love it here!

This company is run by a CEO who micromanage everything. His managers are not allowed to manage. They are just glorified route salesman. The CEO promises the moon but can't deliver.  We never had a full product line, Because of his bad ordering. He still wanted (His) plan a gram followed to the letter.   Good luck to you if you take this job.
