Sumitomo Construction Machinery Employee Reviews for District Sales Manager

"No management here at any level...Japanese control everything as usual! Setup tp fail on purpose!"

What do you like about working at Sumitomo Construction Machinery?

"I like the industry, big ticket items, and easy to learn (HP & Torque!). The cyclo gearboxes was an easy sell and Paramax 9000 a big ticket item, but no product support or services provided at the plants or in field on purpose! Under designed with no mod's options at the assembley plants or in the field upgrades on purpose! All the products that were bought out thru 2nd and 3rd party offshore vendors had major defects that would not be address or corrected! So...yes they knowingly sold defective products on purpose! No product forcasting...Japanese sent what they wanted you to have...pink elephants with mis matched parts and no support or recourse to fix any of it..wehat a nightmare for the distys and customers!"

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

"Run!...run far, far away and spread the word here! Speak with any of their PT distributors, or any Motion Industries branches for history of atrocies here!"

What don't you like about working at Sumitomo Construction Machinery?

"No management at any level on purpose...Japanese continue to restrict the Sumitomo - America capabilites! Most of the products do not exist or cannot be supported in the field responsibly! Japanese refused to provide training for their people or their customers. I was hired to sell products and services that did not exist. I was not allowed to work with other vendors or service companies that could provide these products and services as a alliance or partnership. Japanese made sure that we failed here! So...hows all that working for you"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Leave and find another job where there is hope for success! Communication and Trust can be established working for the same business goals and objectives!"
