Although I am not a big fan of sales, this sales job was pretty great.  The autonomy to run your territory how you see fit, the ability to develop your own sales solutions, freedom to run your own business unit.  The best part of the job is the people; everyone is relatively laid back and likes to have a good time after working their butts off.  I haven't worked at a company where I've seen the Owner/CEO, President, COO, and CFO so often; they are all locked into the success of each location and each salesman individually.  Big focus on hiring from within as well - only downside is that the organization has a relatively shallow hierarchy and there isn't much opportunity for quick advancement.  If you work your butt off, they notice and they peg you early on for success, just depends on how long you can be on the sales side before you get burnt out.

Love the company, love the people, very difficult decision to leave.

Place is alright except for new management.. 2 of the 3 foremans were hired in as foremans so dont believe the hype that the site supervisor and plant manager say.. There is no promote within. The plant manager likes to cuss and threaten people to" take them outside" the site manager needs to set up a grievance procedure to deal with people like him. As it stands he doesnt talk to employees about management so they are out of control..  Plant manager has buddies that do what ever or lack of..  He also makes rules that he and a select few do not have to follow. Lazy management makes for a not so good place to work.. Raises used to be good till new plant manger, not anymore he hands out 2% raise and health ins goes up 5%.. I worked at unilock for 8 years only one person ritired.. Unilock loves to fire people its the unilock way.. Favoritism is ridiculous..

My time there was an experience. I worked 12 hour days 6 days a week. that is the Norm there. You basically stand next to a giant cement drum full of stone and sort through them on a table. it is so loud there even with ear plugs you have to yell to communicate. you WILL break fingers. the hardest part of the job was not quitting when you can look up and see half of the company on the other side sitting in an air conditioned control room starring at computer screens all day and your supervisors doing the same. there is no room for advancement as there are only 5 positions in the whole company. Management plays favorites. I learned what a job shouldn't be by working here. and the most enjoyable part was quitting.

This was a huge waste of my time. I was hired as Inside sales and worked my fingers to the bone. Collecting samples for contractors and fixing their displays. Also building A frames and following up on their leads. They promised full year round employment . Then eliminated my position as soon as busy season was over. I was 1 week from closing on a mortgage when they fired me. (Not like a family) Management is like a cult that sits in pointless meetings all day long. I had to beg for direction or any kind of communication. They will work you like a dog and let you go with no notice. DO NOT waste your time they do not care about you or your family. 

Providing on-site customer service to perspective customers in a showroom atmosphere educating customers on the Unilock product.

Hardscape ability to make any patio, driveway or retaining wall look beautiful.

Management was hands on and very intuitive as well as instructional.

Co-Workers helped me tremndously as it was an industry I did not have experience in.

 My commute was well over an hour each way and was demoralizing.

Working closely with members of my family who purchased there brick through Unilock.

Also,

The making of the brick and design to each specific product.

Lead machine operators program assembly line for certain size stones, set draw plate manually for certain size stones. Supervise strapper operators and tumblers. make sure fork lift operators are consistent with loading and unloading the line. great place to work. friendly people. Competitive pay.

Fun work environment where every day is different. Must have strong customer service skills. I enjoy everyone I work with and laugh a lot during the day. Some days you work longer hours than others, but summers are a busy time for this industry. Winters are much slower and you get to leave early during the winter months.

Always someone waiting in the wings to stab you in the back. Management is a joke. Very high employee turnover. They want employees that do not have a thought process, just unskilled monkeys that will do what they say for a treat, and usually blame anyone but themselves when the process goes wrong.

consistent dedication to maintaining high quality standards, exceptional safety practices, strong work ethic, ability to troubleshoot issues efficiently, positive teamwork attitude, and willingness to learn and adapt to new processes, all while meeting production targets reliably and exceeding expectations when possible.
