Ping Golf

My first 3 seasons as a Tech Rep with PING were awesome.  I had great success with sales and my boss (the field rep) was encouraging, a good trainer and always answered my questions.  I hoped I would be promoted to take his place when he retired, but unfortunately they brought in a young guy from corporate who had no experience in the territory, very little enthusiasm for the job and very little consideration of advanced scheduling or paying me in a timely manner.  I would give my first 3 seasons a 5 star and my last season a 2 or 3 star.  I contacted Corporate management a few times to seek advancement and further employment and phone calls were only returned once, encouraging me to apply to work at the factory in Phoenix.  I considered it, but was not ready to relocate at the time.  I feel like they made a poor decison not promoting me to Field Rep when my first boss retired, I could have been a much more productive and enthusiastic Field Rep than the young, inexperienced market outsider they brought in.

Their executives care about the employees. After furloughed, then let go, I can't dispute their decision.  I had some very personal dilemmas to work through, and they gave me the time and provided the tools to get through them. However, during Covid-19 they had to decide to let me go. 

I did overcome these hurdles, but the timing did not work for PING. I learned a lot from my leaders and mentors, but sometimes it's too late

All the micromanagement with supervisors. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There's hundreds of employee that work at the factory on a daily basis. Just like every work place, there's employees that won't like you, no matter what. Other than that, the company is very family oriented. The campus is 60 acres, so allot of employees drive golf carts, bicycles, skateboards, or walk to get around. The owners are a well respected Christian family, that care about all of the employees. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Check hundreds of employee badges in the mornings and noon. All guards rotate assignments on a daily basis. Check property, incident and report writing, drive around in gold cart. Sometimes you'll get to be indoors dispatching or sitting at a post.

Designed golf bags for high schools, college and university golf teams
Using licensed logos coordinated with school colors.
Uploaded designs for review by licensing entity or school.
Learned a lot about the licensing process that is used by colleges.
My group which was the customization group consisted of 8-10 employees,
A great group of people a few of us worked together for the 15 years that I was with the company.
The hardest part of the job was no longer being able to communicate with the customers.
This part of the job had been taken away by management.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the end result of the customer receiving their golf bags
And absolutely loved them!!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in at about 5:25 AM, prepare to work as scheduled. There are 3 shift per day. First shift is from 5:30 to 7:50; have a break of 20 minutes. Second shift: from 8:10 to 11:00; have lunch break of 30 minutes. Third shift is from 11:30 to 14:00. If overtime, it is from 14:00 to 16:00

A typical work day was to come in at 5:30am and check the board for our teams and work station for that week. Then we would get to our stations and work with the bags assembling them together. At 8:20 we have our first break for twenty minutes, After the break we get back to our stations and continue working. We worked until 11:30 then we take a 30 minute lunch until 12:00. After our lunch we worked until 1:50, at that time we clean up our stations for the next day and get ready for clock out.

Ping was very good ten years ago. From what I understand the culture has shifted a bit due to product competition. Many of the products are manufactured in China so the Made in USA does not hold true and a shift to Assemble in USA was adopted. This is a big reason that employees are hired as temporary in order to fill cyclical orders then let go. They still maintain a huge number of employees that have worked there for over 30 years... can't be all bad.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Vietnamese community is extremely biased when it comes to work. They pretend to have a hard time understanding so they don’t have to work hard but when they want to make fun of you or be rude the speak perfect English. Management does nothing about work disputes claiming that they can’t do anything 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management not doing there job and expecting you to do more than yours

Was told that there was alot of OT which there was for about 2 weeks then was gone. Upon starting we were told they were behind weeks then to find out they didn't have enough parts. So if you weren't family or a friend or a favorite they cut ties. Leads run around like chickens with their heads cut off, have no clue how to run their area and don't listen to anyone cuz they think they are the owners.

My most current position offered me the opportunity to work outdoors serving golf customers. My job was to custom fit golfers and sell members the finest equipment on the market. This job was great, fun with the opportunity to meet new friends and help them to improve their golf game..very rewarding.
