Pros

There is potential to make money when the weather is bad and the storms are rolling in.

Cons

Employees are not cared about or respected. It is all about the bottom-line. The COO is the CEOs wife. She used to work in the call center and married him and got a nice promotion. No management or business sense. Sales meetings are a joke. They highlight the top 2 or 3 guys and the rest of the time is spent tellig everyone else how poorly they are doing and how they dont use the "proven" system. When it's busy, don't plan on seeing your family or dare requesting a day off. Bad news!

There are several schools of thought when it comes to responding to social posts, you certainly don’t want to appear to be defensive or argumentative. So what is one supposed to do when presented with a post that is riddled with false information? That’s easy…take the opportunity to paint a clear picture of what it’s like to be part of our Tribe! Are we perfect? Nope! We are a Tribe filled with human beings striving to be better every day. Compensation opportunities in our sales department have never been more plentiful – between commission, additional bonus levels and monthly contests our consultants can not only meet but exceed their personal income goals. We provide the opportunity, the strong brand, the leads, the training and the tools, but then it’s up to the individual to take responsibility for their success. Personal accountability is a tenet throughout our tribe. Sales meetings and webinars are filled with accolades, product training, peer-to-peer recognition, skill improvement and yes, even donuts. Leadership is involved in department meetings because they are compassionate and appreciate our Tribal Members, and want them to feel supported and heard. We were awarded the Top Places to Work from the Chicago Tribune a few years ago, yet we continue daily to seek ways that will make Perma-Seal the employer of choice! We are a transparent organization and do what we say we will do. Our doors are not only open but you will find leaders actively seeking feedback and ideas for improvement on a daily basis. Our Tribal Members are encouraged to come with solutions, not problems. We want their thoughts and experience, not just their hands. We practice servant leadership and act with urgency to serve our internal and external customer needs and wants. All that being said, Perma-Seal is not for everyone! Don’t mistake the love we have for our Tribal Members with weakness. We will not apologize for setting high standards. Everyone in our Tribe puts in long hours when our customers are counting on us to help them. We work hard…seriously, because our purpose is to make the world a better place. That is why we continue to be Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana’s leader in providing dry basements and healthy homes.
