1: Typical day: This is a learn-as-you-go job, as you will be on the cutting edge of newly developed software tools. You will quickly find that non-important meetings will fill most of your day-to-day, leaving little time to work on assigned projects or assist the company's end-users without scheduling meetings with them.  

2: What did I learn? I learned a lot about the 3rd party software we used for the pricing team. As for the rest of my work, I already had the tools, software, and skillset to perform my duties before starting with the company. 

3: Management: Direct management is very respectful and tries to be supportive in their role. Upper management is where most of the issues are. They are slow to respond to anything. While clinging to outdated business practices. Business travel is an upfront out-of-pocket expense to the employee if there is a need to travel. You spend a lot of your time requesting HR to reimburse your business expenses. If your department Manager agrees to a raise, don’t expect it to be approved by upper management anytime soon. It’s at the very least a 6-month-long process if it ever gets done, or they find reasons to renege on the raise altogether, while citing some kind of "stock market flux" reason to step away from any promised salary bumps.  

4: Most positions here are Remote, however, they do try to create some form of “team-ship” 

5: The hardest part of the job is trying to respect the company while knowing that the company has no respect for its employees, and you dare not try to stand up for yourself. If you do, you will find yourself unemployed here. 

6: The most enjoyable part of the job: The co-workers you deal with daily. Many are great people who care about their work.


What is the best part of working at the company?
The view of the bay from the office floor

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Upper management (directors and above) are very disconnected from their staff.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
work environment is fine, the tools will be provided.
There is no culture, upper managers have a HUGE disconnection from employees, the company has a very managers "ONLY" club type of feel, and if one tries to bring an outside perspective to improve, that person will be seen as controversial.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The job itself was not hard, normal work, not difficult at all.

Typical day was knowing more about the business than upper management. Every competitor around was miles ahead of Watsco Business practices. Brought in people to save company, in real Business practices had no knowledge of business. 

A typical day at work would be setting down the basketball court. Sometimes we build cages for UFC fights, and concert stages for upcoming shows. Set up barricades and bike racks for ticket entry. The hardest part is honestly putting down the basketball courts or laying down chairs for the republican debate.

They are cutthroat and don't value you as a human being.  If you are not a drone you won't make it because your opinion won't matter and everyone with power is only looking out for themselves and will make your life miserable if they think you might be seen as better than they are.

They want to be a software company yet they dont know how to  follow software practices.  A lot of mismanagement everyhwere and planning is all over the place. They don't address the real issues. People are under paid, and they are really cheap

Learned customer loyalty is respected.  Most enjoyable part was customer and distributors seminars  and training sessions.

Sales data analysis and sales growth demans too high

One of the good financial institutes to work with to enhance new technical abilities and business understanding. The management is friendly and provides oppertunity to grow within the company.

Not bad.  Good place to start. 
Low base pay compared others. No mystery with comissions in relation to most companies that are always trying to snake you with commissions. Decent benefits.  Would recommend.

•what you learned: PRODUCT INFO RHEEM
•management: GREAT SUPPORT
•your co-workers:GET TEAM PLAYERS
