Applied industrial Technologies Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've been in this business for years and find the regional manager and upper management incompetent, with no clear direction, seems all they are worried about is sales reports and more reports to department heads. No training for anyone, no local inventory, and no clue what to stock, basically running branch empty.. horrible micro-managing"

"No culture. Lack of care for their employees. Good benefits, but no clear direction in leadership. Follows the good ole boy system and people in positions of power are not necessarily equipped for those positions"

"There is very little communication or direction. Myself & my coworkers often find ourselves struggling to provide the customer service we’d like to due to the lack of support."

"For someone who has worked in sales for over 20 years an managing teams for over 15 years, I believe the leadership where I am at now is at the very best average. There is no clear direction on goals and no communication from upper management to sales representative. There is no training for movement within the organization as well."

"Great management. Wonderful inside team with a drive to be the best. Our outside team is skilled and motivated."

"I've worked for Applied since 2004. Started at $11.00. Now making $13.87 in 2018."

"Worked for them for a couple of years. Both General Manager and Branch Manager are a couple of foul-mouthed bullies. Regional manager covers for both of them. Fundamentally dishonest compensation/salary description. Advertised as salary with bonus opportunity, real draw against commission. Commission is 99% unattainable in this market."

"I have worked for 1.5 years and so far it is going ok."

"I've worked in Applied Companies for 1 year and 4 months."

"Some would say the company is out of control. I tend to see it as not in control. The rule of management is thru intimidation and fear. That is not leadership. It is fear from the top down. This company is in trouble. Applied occupies a dying market channel, being replaced by the internet. Sales people are treated with contempt. There is no vision. The CEO is a bore. No spark, no meetings, no one beating the drum. No leadership and no vision for the future. Sell this stock..."

"Plenty of resources. Just a shame there is not more training and structure."

"I have nothing to add, especially nothing positive."
