A typical work day would start at 5:00am because corp office was three hours ahead of PST. zone.  Day would end when Sales Manager thought the you had done enough for the day, usually between 6-7pm, normal day was a 12-14 hours day.  Owner and Sales manager were never satisfied with your work.  They always felt as if you were out to get them, they never trusted you or your work.  Commission structures were very hard to reach and if you did not reach a goal they felt as if you did not work hard enough to reach that goal.  All goals were to be reach no matter what you had to do.  Company has no ethnic or compassion towards employees or clients.  They would rather miss inform the clients about deadlines just to get the sale because once the client signed the order they would not have enough time to reorder with the competition. Company behind in technology, hired a consultanting firm to help manage the procedures but the owner would not listen, it was his way or no way.  Sales meeting were supposed to be a way to round table to discuss ideas and best sales techniques but the owner would always make sure it was his way; no other way, because he was the best sales person ever and he always let you know that. He wants to show who is the owner and you could be let go if you ever doubted he was the best, his way to show his power. You could never disagree with is ideas or you would be put on the spot and made to look like a fool.  Sales manager worships the owner.   When you ask for time off so you could spend time with your kids at an event they want to know why and do you really need to go; they do not know what is like to have a family so they are always working so they make you feel like you should not ask for time off.  You were given 2 weeks for vacation but if you were on vacation you still had to maintain your accounts, issues and if any problems you were required to handle while you were on vacation not to mention you had to call in and attend the sales meeting while you were on vacation.
You could never get a raise or any car allowance when gas increased.  You had to inform your clients of automatic price increase every 6 months if your customers did not order enough products and even if a customer pre-ordered items for a year and the  automatically and the reason was losing money, not enough profit, never lost money, you would have to inform the customer of a price increase or we would deliver the entire order an demand full payment, a lot of strong arming the clients.  Company has no ethnics, compassion, honesty or integrity, its all about the owner and his management team to make all the money possible and they dont care who they step on or destroy.

I have worked at PSG for approximately 9 years and am posting this review so that potential employees know how great of a company it is.  I have read some other reviews on line which are from other people having different experiences which I do not agree with.  What I can tell you, is that I was hired on in a sales capacity at 60,000 + commission my first year.  In a very short time I was well over $ 100,000 a year.  The potential for growth is terrific, along with the support that is given by the corporate office and owner.  I feel truly fortunate to work at a company like this which values their employees and gives them the opportunity to grow and build a true book of healthy consistent residual business.  A +

I am surprised at how much I have learned and earned at this company.  They are a very sales focused company who consider sales a real profession and they provide a lot of mentorship, training, and advice to be successful.  The owner could easily retire, yet he is the harding working person in the company and he supports success, especially with great quarterly bonus sale  programs.  My experiences at Progressive Specialty Glass have prepared me to be successful on many levels of life.

Progressive Specialty Glass is a company that treats employees as their largest asset.  The company offers competitive pay and incentives.  They provide a rich benefits program that includes 401K and health insurance.  As a sales consultant you are meeting with local companies and bringing awareness of creative solutions that can help boost their revenue.  Management takes a proactive approach and provides support to help further advance your career and earnings potential.

The Customer Service Center is filled with people who are experts at there jobs but as a whole would rather work harder than smarter and complain about. Even at management levels although professing to become technologically more advanced they don't. Even though policy is set by Senior Management, it is dictated by the Sales Staff.

The company is owned by an individual who is so worried about losing clients that he requires too many usless reports. He doesn't trust that his employees are doing the best that can be done. They are all highly skilled to the point that I was impressed at what they accomplish but that wasn't enough for the owner.

He highered consultants to recommend policies to make the work place a better place but he never follows the recommendation.

Not a bad office space, good coworkers and management has its ups and downs. Unless you have experience with sales, they will drop you unfortunately. Very family based as most if not all upper management are all related. I was office support, they dropped me and kept on a managers daughter who wasn’t even on payroll.

on phones with customers end users and business customers. Our production factory was on sight so it made the product you were dealing with  easier to understand its full potential. Co workers were great so was management.

Working for Progressive Specialty Glass has been amazing. Very friendly and helpful team, my support staff is the best. We go above and beyond for our customers. I have grown so much in a short period of time due to having outstanding support and tools.
