Pros

I did made one solid friend that has validity and I learned for certain that high pressure sales calls for $50 orders was just as bothersome to me as it was the customer. Overall, Kimball has good quality products at a premium price.

Cons

Certainly one of the most unprofessional, skill deficient, untruthful Regional Managers backed by a blind-eye turning upper management in any business that I have ever been involved in. Not since middle school has flatulence, zit popping and falling asleep on the job been so common. Every joint sales call would leave me confused and wondering how this guy was able to hold this job and worse, what was keeping me at this company. His daily success was based entirely on when and where he at lunch and how much gas he could pass without defecating himself(which actually happened). My job as a “SMIT” was to build a base then recruit a team. I simply could not see myself bringing another professional into that role and being able to sleep at night so I chose to move on.
