Pros

There are not many at all. There are/were some great and hard working people that work at Purafil that were very helpful as training for sales people is non-existent but, unfortunately, the most experienced people are losing their willingness to help as they are basically doing the work of sales people due to the turn around of their sales managers. The company and products had a GREAT reputation before the acquisition.

Cons

In 1 year there were 2 different presidents, 3 different national sales managers, 3 different VPs of sales, resignation/firing of 6 different sales managers. A company with that kind of turnaround is a sign of a company to stay away from. The bonus structure is confusing and basically a way to cap what a sales person makes. Current president of the company said that their loyalties lie with the shareholders and not with the employees of Purafil, quotes Sun Tzu and openly shares their belief that the use of military strategies can be ideal to running a business. Management is not approachable and everyone keeps their heads down and their opinions to themselves in order to protect themselves.

Filtration Group Response
7y
I appreciate you taking the time to provide a review of your experience at Purafil, but I feel it’s important to respond to some of the mischaracterizations and inaccuracies in your description of the company and the leadership. First, the turnover you have described here is simply untrue. Additionally, the president of the company has a well-known and sincere open-door policy. He pursues feedback from the employees about their experience and about the company culture, and he cares deeply about employee satisfaction and productivity. He is a proud military veteran and his military experience has helped shape him as a person and leader, but his first priority is to collaborate with and learn from others—particularly those who provide constructive criticism for the betterment of the company. Most importantly, he has never and would never say that “loyalties lie with the shareholders and not with the employees of Purafil.” This statement is counter to everything we are working to build at Purafil: a company where employees strengths are valued and nurtured, and performance is a result of strong teamwork, innovation and customer-focus. Finally, the bonus structure for sales team members is uncapped, and has been embraced by sales managers as we plan for next year, specifically because it empowers sales people to thrive and also ensures them reliable compensation. While you may not have found what you were looking for at Purafil, we wish you a lot of luck with your career in the future.

Pros

Pay is not bad and some people are nice.

Cons

The company went through way too many changes in a very short amount of time. Internal communication was honestly pretty bad. Senior management’s strategy and execution were often confusing and inconsistent. There were too many initiatives and priorities happening at once, which caused a lot of confusion. Some people were great, some weren’t. The pay was good, but the benefits were not.
