Würth

I loved my time with Wurth - Orr Safety - NSI. During my time with the company, I managed to build some great working relationships between my boss, colleagues, and some of the clients.

The company pays a decent wage and provides adequate time off and benefits.

The only downsides of the job would be the stress level and the fact that I was never properly trained on how to perform some of the inspections. Both of these are mostly my own fault, though.

I was supposed to set up days and times to go to training sites to learn. But, that would be another downfall. These trainings took place all over the country (Northern Wisconsin, Alabama, Texas, etc.).

Had I been properly trained where I was ready to handle every aspect of the job, I would have had less stress for sure.

Also, the site I had worked at for Wurth - Orr Safety - NSI, I had actually worked Security at the same facility for the prior 4 years to joining the company. I had told Wurth management that the work load was way too much for 1 person, but management debated against my expertise on the facility, stating that they had paid assessors to come evaluate the site and show that the workload should be doable for one person.

The workload I had should have been a 2 person job, and my former colleague who would come out monthly to assist would agree with this.

Aside from the few downfalls, this is still an absolutely amazing place to work. I'm sad that I had to part ways. But sometimes, life takes you in a different direction, and that's ok. All in all, great management, leadership, benefits, time off, and just a great place to work.

A full service company to automotive businesses. Evey thing from nuts and bolts to lubricates. At one time this was probably a pretty good job. Long before cheap Chinese products flooded the market. Even the though the Wurth product was a better made product in almost every way, it was really a stretch to ask a customer to pay 3-4 times more for the same thing just because it was from Wurth. If you took over a orphaned territory that hadn't been worked in a long time it was almost impossible to get those customers back. Their buying habits had changed. And believe me, there are a lot of ex-Wurth customers out there. 
The pay starts out good but as your weaned off of salary and go on to straight commission, you'll start to see that it is an up hill battle. The guys who have been there forever and have a stable customer base are doing very well. I'm talking 10-15 years longevity. But to try to come into a new territory that had been abused by the the three previous Wurth sales reps is a lot to ask. The good will is gone and nearly impossible to to get back. But I've done that, I got many back just not enough to make up for my disappearing salary. Like I said tough business.

The training is excellent, they spend time and money to give you the best opportunity to be successful. The management was as good as you could ask. Everybody on your team would help you in any way they could, there was no jealousy or grade grubbing that you'll get from fellow sales guys. I found many of the corporate marketing guys to be kind of phony, that's about as negative as I can get.

This business is not for the weak. I enjoy cold calling, if you have issues with that, stay away.

As you can see from the job requirement is all you need is a valid driver license.  For the most part they are looking for a person with low income expectations.  The first year you will get a guarantee. After that they might give you an additional six  months.  Try living on 24 to 27 hundred net a month.  There are about twenty people making over eighty-five.  
There quota system is developed so one cannot achieve there goals.  This is a piece of your compensation which you will not receive.  If you  are in a urban city, there will be a lot of competition,in addition there are two companies buying up the better shops.  You will not get this business.  
You do not have to believe me and apply for the job.  If you are working grocery check out, hardware store employee or any other low paying job, this might be an upgrade from what you are doing. If you can read between the lines, this is not a good industry/company to work for.  
With regards to the CEO, he is a nice fellow.  But does not care if you can pay your bills.

This is a good job for a retired person with other income/investments.

Wurth has a very good reputation everywhere in the world except in the USA. The management in New Jersey has no idea how to run a business and thinks they are selling time shares and copy machines. I signed on at half of normal salary and was told I could advance as quickly as I wanted; this was untrue. I am a quick learner and a hard worker and was taken advantage of. My manager was clueless and actually hurt many potential sales by showcasing a lack of manners at high end shops. I complained repeatedly and was ignored by upper level management. Eventually, many of people I was complaining to also quit the company. Wurth has good products and a lot of potential for business, but they have lost trust with many shops over the years from poor sales tactics and horrible order fulfillment. I would not recommend this company to anyone except people fresh out of high school looking to get basic sales knowledge and willing to drag their feet for months and collect a pay check. If you are a serious hard worker this is not the company for you.

immediate supervisor lack of follow through and accountability on his end of getting paperwork submitted to corp to better take care of customer/accounts. Immediate DM having zero sales exp.let alone any automotive. Uses time with exp. staff to educate self to learn. Slows down staff having to hold managers hand. Not the Sales rep. responsibility to train a manager on sales and automotive.  
corp. office set a turn around time to have field and corp. employees to reply to vm and emails within a 36 hr time frame. NO ONE in corp follows this. 
no communication to new employees of pay after year,no communication of new accounts being put into Territory Sales Manager CRM. which in turn screwed up the routing program of having 30+ accounts to be called on daily. 
The US company has a huge lack of communication to the ones out in the filed hitting the pavement on a daily basis. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Over priced product granted  some of the products are great and worth the money, but a grade 5 bolt is a grade 5 bolt. They wonder why they're losing business ... take a look at your pricing and shipping costs to the customer. Horrible company to work for

This position is route service and sales.  You are given some accounts to service and unless you know about parts you will be lost in this job You could have an account right next door to another sales rep and work one side of the road  the territory was confusing on top of having to know all the parts they have and what each customer needs to order which they dont have time to talk to you, you have to figure out on your own. You are standing and breathing paint in body shops while putting up their order  Perfect for parts guys who also like to prospect on new business  Unfortunately, it did not work while I was too honest with my manager.. they dont like honesty so please keep quiet if you dont like something or they will fire you.   The only good thing was i was getting a company car but, then they took 400 less out of your check so really it was hard to live on that base salary which is 1500 give or take bi monthly   They never paid me for my last month for my car that I drove   The company has no communication being its a huge company  it took a month for direct deposit to happen

Accounting department stinks. make sure you watch your bank account each time you get paid.

On another note, pay is awful. Commission also stinks!!! Not only are you capped at a certain point in the pay plan, but you are not rewarded for hard work. This is ultimately why I had to quit because they never offered any kind of motivation to do good(good commission, incentives, etc). I did get a raise for doing so well with the company halfway through my tenure, but the raise was also short of being what I would call fair. And then they upped my target by 20%+ depending on the month making it almost unobtainable to make any commission. Oh yea, you heard me right, you only get paid any kind of commission ONLY if you’re at 90% of your target or more..

Outside of all that negativity, my boss was AWESOME, he took care of me. My co workers were nice and very helpful, they give you a company car or pay you handsomely for using yours, and I was able to have a lot of freedom with time off and getting off work early some days.

The position hasn’t been a true sales position for a few years. There’s no financial incentive to sell and the pay plan is capped. There’s net profit margins are 700% insane profit and little base pay plus bones. Pay went down 30-50% during covid and never went back up with inflation and cost of living. The territories are increasing and the the monthly target goal is unobtainable then management starts to micromanage and blame you when there’s several people in the district that were strong producers prior to Covid now struggling under the current system. The company is one of 400 owned by a German that uses this company for their tax write off, so it appears and has the same opinion amongst many other employees. Not much compensation for an employee that’s been here over ten years about the same as a new hire. The customers and job is great but the benefits and compensation is bad. 

This company treats their own employees horrible.  The office does not have your back and accounts receivable department is useless.  Management picks their favorites and forgets about anyone else.  You could probably be dead for days before they even know cause there is no communication. Management will stab you in the back by saying you have assigned territory then send someone else in to steal your prospects.  So not only do you compete with other companies now you have to compete with your so called teammates.  Oh if you want to be management you have to be a bad sales rep. thats the only way you get promoted. Cant come up with a compensation plan that really benefits the sales rep. Oh and they say you have a base salary but your base salary is a % of your monthly sales, THATS CALLED A COMMISION. If you are lucky you will only make $35k per year.No wonder the company has a turn over rate of 37% of sales reps. Only benefit is you have flexibility because you make your own schedule.

The time I spent at wurth USA was great. you are given 1 year salary to build your designated area after that you are put on straight commission. In my opinion this his your/there downfall and why most sales Representatives leave after 1 year. I was there for 18 months and my area changed three times and once after I was put on straight commission making it very hard to build an area up to earn a living wage. This was done by the corporate not your manager. Then they decided to take your smaller accounts away from you and gave them to inside sales but did not account for this with your expected numbers to hit to reach your bonus. And this really affected your salary. 

With all this said I enjoyed my time at wurth I think they in general are a great company to work for. Good benefits/401k and a fair starting salary however upper management does need to understand that the sales Representative's are the lifeline of any company
