If your background is One Call Sales, Auto Sales, the kind of Sales that make people hate Sales people, then this is the place for you. Sandler Sales Methodology and Process is constantly reinforced, sales calls recorded and monitored....drink the punch, conform, or be left out. You'll have a one on one weekly management meeting, a weekly sales team meeting, a bi-weekly all team sales meeting, and a monthly Sandler Sales Meeting....over and over the message is "follow the process".."you're not committed enough"...questioning your motives....constant comparing your numbers to others...its like going to a fundamentalist bible church (full time Sandler Sales Trainer onsite) At the end of the day, they could care less about you...its profit, profit, profit, and you're reminded of it every week, day, and hour. 

The pay is entry level. You will not hit commission for at least 6 months or longer.  Most fail and are let go. It's a revolving door though you'll often hear the mantra "we're slow to hire and quick to fire"

SS Industries operates as Paragon Stairs, Salter Spiral Stair, and Mylen Stairs. Customers are unaware of this, and will call all three companies looking for quotes, and they aren't told the companies are related. Therefore, you're constantly competing against your colleagues for the same lead/customer. Happens much more than they're willing to admit. 

The expectation is you'll sell 40% of the leads that they give you. Again, you'll hear it every day. Out of 20 reps, there are 3 that hit that number. They'll use sport analogies over and over, motivational videos, saying how you just need to work out harder and believe. The constant push to be extraordinary. The cold truth is more people fear to live ordinary.

45 scheduled work week, including weekends, and a late night. You'll told how they believe in work-life balance, and then out of the other side of their mouth...."it's not a 9 - 6PM job." Oh, there's an hour lunch in there though most people don't take it, they'll eat at their desk. Those who take it, or part of it, are frowned upon. The whole environment is a dog, eat dog world. 

I get it, some people love being manipulated, and if you're making $$, go for it. They really believe they can control the outcome of every sale/prospect, and control your output. Anyone with any discernment, business experience, has worked for a professional healthy environment, can see right through this. This is why "they're slow to hire, and quick to fire"...kind of like how a cult find it's recruits. There were days I felt like I was in an episode of The Hand Maidens. 

All that being said, there are some honest, good, hard working people there. They are aware of what's going on, hit there numbers, make good $$, and are willing to put up with the nonsense.

This is the most disorganized and stressful company I have ever worked for. There are persistent issues for which no attempt is made to fix. The biggest issue is the unreasonable volume of work management tries to push through the building every day. People constantly call out with no repricusions and the solution is to dump their work off onto whoever comes in to do their own job. There is virtually no room to walk in the building as there are pallets with half finished work struen everywhere. During the summer the building becomes ungodly hot as there is no airflow throughout the production floor. Machines constantly break from over use. Department managers will arrive after and leave before employees in their departments. I could go on for another 500 words but the bottom line is this is not a place to work if you value yourself because this company does not so just keep looking.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people I work with. They are help helpful and friendly. We get along and if I have a problem I can't solve. They are more than willing to give me a hand.    

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
not having enough welders to work with and get the job done. I'm still new so some things are still difficult. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
positive vibe most of the times from my co-workers. We joke, Weld, sing and laugh but we get our work done. Since I have been there we finish our work in the 90 percent.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
punch in. Set up my table. Talk to the lead  about h

Do you like to get bullied?
Do you want to work at a place that changes the commission out of thin air? 
Would you like working for a sales manager who uses SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT?
What about working for a sales manager that has a massive ego? That talks down to people to find purpose in his position, because he can't sell.
Do you want to bond with your fellow employees on your resentment for a Bully?
How about watching an entire department lose every last rep, and be run into the ground?
Then this is the job for you.


SS Industries is an amazing place to work. Great people making a great product. When you are there for a while you see it is very much like a family. They gave me an opportunity when I really needed it and for that I will always be grateful. They care about their employees and do more than most companies. 
I would still be there if not for another opportunity that I could not refuse. An opportunity I wouldn't have, had I not spent 5 years with the fine folks at SSI. If you have a chance to join their team do and don’t look back. Thank you! 


This company cares nothing for its hourly employees.  They push you to do 10hrs worth of work In an 8hr day then demand you work overtime. The benefits suck, the pay is way lower then it should be and the raises are insulting if you can even get one. They purposely delay yearly reviews and only pay some people retroactive payments. The management is not only incompetent but also negligent. The concern for employees safety is horrendous or should I say nonexistent.   I wouldn't suggest anyone apply to horrible place

President of company will talk down to employees. He considers the company to be a marketing firm with a byproduct in stairs. Basically, “management” doesn’t care about employees, just as long as you get product out.
No ventilation. Welding fumes hang in the air the entire day.
Raises are few and far between, and are only 25 or 50 cents each time.
Dangerous situations are not seen as such. One example is a welding gun that had almost separated the head from the goose neck. It was not looked at for about 5 months.
If you are considering a welding job, don’t go here.

I was promised many things that never happened here, training is very minimal and they expect you to learn how to install spiral staircases on your own. Management in the department are toxic and talk bad behind everybody’s back. I’ve never thought it would be possible to work under somebody so disrespectful and careless about their employees. 

Everything that you will read in the1 star ratings is true. This place is toxic! They call themselves a team environment until it comes time to do any actual work. Most of the employees that survive in this environment learned how to play games in high school and have not changed a bit since. There are a handful of people who have knowledge and are helpful but not many. if you like shifting sands under your feet and a management team populated by egomaniacs, then this is the job for you!! 

Days stay pretty busy which helps them go by faster than you realize, on a typical week you can receive 15-20 new leads.  Management is busy but very helpful & willing to work with you. Co workers are all great!  We all get along pretty well.  Takes a little bit of time to get the design end down, but if you study & understand the product you'll excel!  You control your monetary destiny with the commission & bonus comp plan.
