R.C. Willey Employee Reviews for Sales Associate

"Was a good fam oriented company. Now typical corp America. Making $ for owner."

What do you like about working at R.C. Willey?

"I like that we are closed on Sundays. That we are always paid on time. Even a day or two early, of the pay day is on a holiday or Sunday. I enjoyed working with most of the other salesmen. Paid vacation, sooner or later..Mostly takes a while to accrue. Medical insurance covers preventative care (annual physicals) 100%"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"When interviewing for this company, ask a lot of questions. Make sure that you understand how you are paid, what is REQUIRED to not feel stressed. Keep in mind, that they change rules fairly often, so, whatever you are told about commissions, bonus, spiff programs..they can change. Of course, they can become better later. Find out everything you can about how you are paid, how pay can be taken away (returned sales, charge backs)"

What don't you like about working at R.C. Willey?

"The company is less oriented for the employees than they used to be. More stress now from sales quotas and warranty sales quotas. Not fun to work here anymore. Quotas force some sales people to work more than the standard 40 hrs. this also causes contention on the sales floor because other sales people feel they are losing commission. The company lowers commissions to make more profit than they used to. Product companies were paying extra spiffs and the company told them all to stop. So, less income for us. The health insurance offered , is only High Deductible coverage. So, aside from paying the medical ins premiums, doctor visits have to be paid in full until a high deductible is met in the year. Too many meetings. There are meetings every day, for all shifts, except for the sat. afternoon shift. Many are unproductive. Most salespeople express their discontent with the company. Negative enviroment."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Hire managers that actually have had good sales experience, firstly (Not the case here). Pay them better than the salespeople so the good salespeople don't want to only sell and not progress. Try harder to help us make and close sales. Try harder to say YES more often to the customers rather that enforcing rules."

"Overall a good place to work."
