McCue Reviews

The turnover is unheard of in today's world. Fire people without legitimate reasons. Poor middle management and even worse upper management. A high school marketing department that doesn't even come close to supporting a weak and inexperienced sales staff. Upper management is a pathetic group that does not grasp the theory of management. IT staff that is overwhelmed and unresponsive to even the littlest requests. Finance department is a group of minions which HS diplomas and is just a helpless as the IT department. Great bonus and commission plans if they were ever realistic! Unreachable targets and you get warned or written up for not achieving them. The benefits are great but David McCue has a tough time paying bonuses even if they're deserved and no problem paying himself what I would think a ton of money. Profitable company that stuffs his bank accounts and finances his lavish vacations. But with the exception management who are overpaid, drive expensive cars (company paid for!) , live in expensive houses and in any other company they wouldn't have a job.

The biggest problem with McCue is David McCue himself. David talks a big game about soliciting employee input, but at the end of the day it's "his way or the highway". David surrounded himself with very weak people in the executive suite. If you voiced any complaints or concerns to the management team, you would be deemed to be very expendable very quickly. A previous review talked about how fast the company would pull the trigger on new employees, which I completely agree with. This also led to very high turnover in the company, which over the past 18 months included the departure of the CFO, VP-Finance, HR Director, 6 sales reps as well as both the inside sales manager and VP-Sales. David McCue's philosophy on sales compensation is based on capped quarterly bonuses, which certainly isn't a good way to motivate top performers and get them to stay on board. The real reason for this was that David McCue viewed the company as his own personal financial domain, which helped to finance his very lavish lifestyle which includes a lavish seaside estate and very expensive yacht to accompany it. The outside sales reps were the only real hunters on the sales team, working the larger opportunities with the major retail chains. The inside sales reps were essentially customer service reps, devoting the bulk of their time to responding to RFP's from existing accounts. If you're looking for an exciting sales opportunity, don't waste your time with McCue.
