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

Good people in lower ranks - long tenure for many senior employees.

Cons

A good-old-boy executive team. Underwhelming leaders who are too full of themselves.

Pros

Like the headline says, if you find a way to win in this impossible environment, you will likely be a fixture with the company and have a voice. unfortunately, so much of what I am exposed to the brand has no reputation, no weight, no difference than a cheap offshore chinese firm. The wins all come from struggles and you have to make this all about you and your own personal brand. You might as well start your own business. The group here brings almost nothing to the table. I could offshore this product and sell as a distributor and make more money, Work less hours. Make myself rich and never deal with unrealistic quotas or leaderships crazy expectations or commitments they made becasue they want to be a public company so leadership can cash out and be wealthy. I see no reason to be here and hope I am not very long. My quota has been near 20% for 3 years in a business that is overall dropping 10+% YOY. Not my territory but the entire company has been dropping (this applies to an FG division not company wide). Even in a company that had great growth happening I have never been asked to hit 20% to get commission pay. Its absurd. The only reason I am here is for my own mental well being. I told myself when I started to give it all and not self sabatoge. At the beginning of next year if things look the same as the past 3 years. I will quit, I won't even worry about what to do next. I have lots of licensing and professional experience. I am 20+ years into my sales career. This will be my last corporate BS stop regardless of the turnout. I may be here for 20+ years or gone in 12 months. So far, this company is all about going public, at the cost of everyone and everything inside the company. Some inititatives have been detrimental and thank god there is new leadership at the helm. However, all they see is top line and EBIDTA because they have equity and it pays when/if the company goes public. Rational thought is gone and greed is king.

Cons

uh. read the pros, I unloaded the cons there. The pros, decent base pay, decent insurance, decent 401k, decent work life balance. Idiotic expectations.
