Pros
My direct boss was friendly and trusted me to do my job
Cons
What wasn’t a con? No real structure to this job except a schedule given to me and I had to schedule HVAC lead generation Reps in Costco locations on those dates. The rest was up to me to figure out which isn’t horrible for a guy like me with my leadership experience. Marketing materials where never on time or extremely late. No one knew where they were sent to. There were times where I drove an hour to find out they were never shipped. Not very efficient with one’s time. I fired more people than I hired. In my role, you relied on a sales team to sell or your Reps would suffer. So much that I had to lay off my entire North Jersey team because all the sales team but one member quit. Bonus structure changed frequently for my Reps and my bonus opportunities were highly unattainable. Apex Service Partners HVAC division was highly unorganized. They threw stuff up against a wall each day and hoped it stuck. You were an employee ID to them and their mistakes got me laid off. They sold me a goldmine but in the end, no gold.
