Würth Employee Reviews

I was sceptical when I first joined. The company went through a lot of changes before I joined and my sales area in BC had a lot of turn over for this position. There is a new CEO and he seems to be fairly reasonable and supportive so far. My area is challenging but the pay is great if you put in the work. I make more money in my first three months with Wurth than working with the military after 6 years. The company also gives you a company car that you use for business which is nice especially in BC where the gas prices are through the roof. The management and training are top notch. The people actually care about this company. My manager is the best manager I had in my life and I had a lot of bosses in the past. Friendly, supportive, knowledgeable and he puts in 100%. Most of the employees I engaged with in the back office have 10 years plus with the company which is a good sign. This job can be challenging, you need to be able to learn quickly, have entrepreneurial mindset - always approaching new and old clients, and be honest and respectful with them. TLDR: As a sales rep, your experience will depend a lot on the manager you have and the area you are in. If your manager is not experienced or involved it can be a difficult start. If your area previously had bad sales reps, (not supportive, lazy, dishonest, greedy) it will be tougher to convince customers to do business with you.

Pros

Salary, car, good management.

Cons

A lot of travelling

Salaire

Représentant des ventes (Former Employee) - Trois-Rivières, QC - 14 October 2023

Les points extrêmement négatif de wurth c'est le côté pyramidal du salaire. Sans mentionner la pression de vente énorme que la direction donne aux représentants. Il découpe le territoire du représentants aussi tôt qu'il ou elle obtiennent de trop bon résultats. Wurth d'après moi ce positionne en dernier dans la liste des meilleurs employeur au Canada. Ça reste tout de même une bonne école pour un jeune qui sort de l'école. Côté carrière c'est un non catégorique il sous paie leur employées.

Pros

Voiture

Cons

Salaire direction pression de vente

Interesting Company

Sales Representative (Former Employee) - British Columbia - 1 August 2023

Great training program to help you succeed. Make sure you understand the pay plan and how you earn more money. Hopefully have a manger that supports you and sets you up for success instead of constant micro management.

Pros

Company vehicle, good training

Cons

Complicated pay plan

Sounded like a great place ..

Inside Sales (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 6 July 2023

At first it seemed great . Positive group! As time passed , management kept " adjusting " bonus levels . And changing the plan , not to sales advantage. Plus the person in charge of " customer policies " was constantly putting up barriers to make it harder to convince customers to buy . It became like a call center, and like we were selling aluminum siding.

Pros

Great products, free hot beverages

Cons

Difficult policies for customers, bonuses always changing.

Great training, well managed company

Sales Representative (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 4 May 2023

Outside sales can be tough if you are shy and afraid of cold calls. If you like networking and sales and have mechanic/construction background, you will do very well. Cell phone, iPad, car provided. I have a great DSM. Great benefits. There is pressure to hit monthly sales target.

Words do not equal actions

Territory Manager (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 28 October 2022

Promises, promises, promises. Everything about Wurth looks and sounds good, from the training to the pay to the way they do business. You're 100% at the mercy and roll of the dice on which manager you get and whether he gives two hoots about his team or your territory. While you may start with a solid zone/location, you quickly find that it can be reorganized and your income can shift by 20% or more. It's a gamble and it's always about what's best for them and the senior staff.

Use to be fun

Former Empolyee (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 3 July 2022

New leadership new philosophies. Management is two faced, will tell you that you are doing good one day, let you go the next. Beware, this company has some really high goals and there's a lot of people they have used and let go. Hopefully you don't become one, lots of turnaround for a reason.

High stress, high priority, better not have family

Technical maintenance supervisor (Former Employee) - Guelph - 27 June 2022

The plant is pretty awesome high tech, and automated. Maintenance is difficult, but challenging. Hard to do it all for one person, especially if you have a family. Salary vs work load do not match. Ot as salary is maintenance not provided, so make you work for less than what you are worth. Business focused, can be rewarding but very stressfull

Pros

Days mostly

Cons

Business focused, management salary instead of hourly.. so not ot pay, even though you work ot

Place for self motivated people, and if you want to make decent salary over achieve

Sales Representative (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 3 March 2022

Salary is confusing due to their system of guarantee, expectations are really high to produce and commissions are really low, you have to work 25% more to make same amount of money each year.

Pros

Great benefits

Cons

Salary is not upto industry standard

La direction met énormément de pression sur l'atteinte des objectifs de vente, sans tenir compte de la configuration du territoire.

Représentant des ventes (Former Employee) - division automobile - 13 February 2022

Aucun côté humain. Changement de rémunération en moyenne au deux ans, objectifs fixé par la compagnie et augmentation annuel entre 18 et 25% chaque année, très difficile d'avoir une progression salariale. Manque de formation, pas de compte de dépense, on surveille même tes activités sur la tablette, peut-être que je suis tombé sur un directeur un peu trop zélé à ma dernière année.

Pros

Véhicule fourni et on ne lésine pas sur l'entretien, Cellulaire fourni. Tablette pour la prise de commande, très utile, vous avez même accès à l'inventaire en quelques secondes, très bon produits, vaste gamme

Cons

Aucun côté humain, tu n'est qu'une source de revenue pour la compagnie, même malade on veut que tu travailles. Surveille ta paie et tes commissions, souvent des erreurs. Manque de transparence de la direction.

Environnement et salaire

Représentant des ventes (Former Employee) - Québec City, QC - 4 October 2021

Les territoires sont petit et certains offrent peu d’opportunités de croissance ce qui fait qu’il est très difficile d’augmenter son salaire. Quand un territoire devient payant, il n’est pas rare qu’un réaménagement soit fait ce qui fait perdre des clients pour un représentant et affecté directement le salaire. Constamment sous pression pour developper. Le taux de roulement est très élevé dans certains territoires.

Many internal job opportunities

Customer Management Supervisor (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 21 September 2021

Wurth Canada has been so good to me! Over the last year and a half I have moved up from a maternity leave contract position as a coordinator to a permanent position as a supervisor. My team is amazing and hard working and my manager is very supportive. The other teams we work closely with help out whenever it gets busy and I can't say anything bad about Wurth other than the fact that the option of working from home keeps me away from seeing my work friends in person
