I was brought on through a temp service in 2018. I was subject to a drug screen and backgound check beforei could even be brought in as a temp. Once i was cleared to come in for a job i worked hard. I was always on time never missed a day. The team i worked withwas terrible at communicating, or really being a team at all. When a packer had a "miss pick" and would try to tell a picker like " hey i need this, it not on my pallet", you got nothing but attitude and told to go pick it yourself. When trying to correct someone's mistake they would yell at you for doing it correctly and try to go tell on you. Leadership and supervision sucks. Thiscompany does not care for their employees what so ever. I worked my 500 hours as a temp, was told daily they we're starting the hiring process. Then one day came to me out off no where to tell me i had to leave the premises immediately due to my back ground ( i have nothing but low misdemeanors over 6 years old) that's it!!!!! Even though i passed the check 4 months ago.... I did not pass this time. When i asked what it was on my record i was given no answer. When asked if they searched my name right because i am a second, named after my father whom does have other charges, just to be sure they only got my back ground i was told to leave. Poor management.... Terrible team work.... Everyone there acts like your enemy who is trying to be your friend... And the gossip and miss treatment... If you want a job like high school with lies and gossip please feel free to proceed with you application process. THERE ARE MUCH BETTER JOBS OUT THERE THAT APPRECIATE YOU DO NOT SETTLE FOR LESS!!!!!!

Management leaves much to be desired; be ready to take on not only your own responsibilities but also those of your colleagues. If you're not a favorite among the management team, you will definitely feel the repercussions. Unfortunately, it seems that no one in management truly cares about employee well-being or morale, which makes the work environment even more difficult to navigate. I strongly advise you to seek employment elsewhere—your time and effort are worth more than this.

You're expected to be on call every single day, which quickly becomes exhausting. The compensation is disheartening, especially when you consider that some coworkers have been with the company for years yet have received minimal raises—often less than $500. Each year, management alters the bonus structure, making it increasingly challenging for employees to meet the criteria and earn additional compensation. Overall, the situation is nothing short of chaotic, and it’s tough to stay motivated in such a toxic environment.


I’ve been with the company almost a year and wanted to give it a fair run before writing a review. It had it’s moments where I thought this wasn’t for me, because it’s challenging. But I appreciate the challenge and it’s helped me to grow personally and professionally. With my previous job, I was a manager, therefore I was happy to take a step back and not manage people, but solely manage my business and development. The company listens and has made some great decisions regarding management and expectations. You may not “advance” in regards to the title of your position, but you will see financial advancement if you put in the work and understand the numbers. If you’re lazy, this isn’t for you. If you can appreciate challenges and a flexible job that allows you to live as well, apply ASAP!

The management is pretty poor. They’ll tell you don’t want it bad enough the second you underperform. 

The salary is not livable but they will try to sell the job on the commission benefits. You will quickly realize those are terrible. 

The way they rate performance and commission earnings vary among employee each year… hope you get hired at the right time. 

The products are good quality but overpriced making it very easy or very difficult to sell based on your territory. Unleveled playing field. 

They will protect and value their very tenured Account Managers regardless of their performance so watch out for them. 

If you take this job for the stepping stone purpose, it can help. Wish you the best of luck making it through. 

State is a place where if you want to sit back and collect a paycheck you will be very uncomfortable. However, when you are up for the task and raise your had, State welcomes your passion to be challenged. I have been afforded more opportunities than I would have imagined just from raising my hand for a position that was outside of my overall qualifications. What I appreciate most about State is the "Work Hard. Play Hard" mentality. The work is challenging, but we all have a lot of fun while doing it. On top of that everyone is extremely accessible; if you are stuck with questions each person is willing to help. Overall, I am blessed to work at State Industrial Products, and l look forward to many years to come!

During my time at State, I have developed my analytical skills very much so, which is definitely needed in my field. My manager is a huge reason for that. Many people leave positions because of their negative experiences with their direct manager... That is not the case for me. There is a ton of room for professional and personal growth at State, you just have to make what you want of it. That is the beauty of working there. The culture is healthy, the business is thriving, and the support you get from other departments/colleagues is unmatched if you build those relationships. You can be anyone you want at State, the ball is in your court !! 

This is a horrible company operating on an antiquated sales model. Some bonuses are paid via gift cards so they avoid taxes, VP of Sales tries to motivate through fear, pay vs. expectations are unrealistic, there’s much more that can be listed. This company’s model is exactly the reason people are quitting their jobs today. Territory’s see multiple reps over the course of years resulting in poor customer relationships, low sales volume and damaged reputations. Stay away from this company, they don’t value their people and don’t value their customers.

If you decide to interview with State, ask them  how many people leave within 3-12 months. There is no training. There is no documentation. There is no support from managers, unless you're willing to praise them.  They think monthly lunches and events build culture, but what they forget to realize is it's just covering up how terrible the management team really is. 

You get promoted through brown nosing and if the officers of the company like you or not, not by the merits of your work. They chase off anyone with intelligence. 

The perfect candidate is someone cheap and doesn't have an opinion. If you know your worth, look somewhere else.



After the first year with the company they set hard to reach monthly quotas. They dont take cost of living into consideration when it comes to product pricing. Management only cares about bottomline and not actual customer or employee relations. Inside sales will steal customers from you. If you make a complaint against your district or regional manager there will surely be some type retribution coming your way. These are just some of the many reasons why no one should ever work for this company.

Started out as a tech installing dish machines. Moved up to sales, was up for another promotion when I found out the they had a problem with their computers not receiving all of the information from the handles they were using at the time. We were told that we didn't make our sales numbers, myself and a few other keep real good records. We knew the real numbers and after talking to manager about it and not getting paid bounce. I left the company.
