Haddon House

Haddon House Food Products has over 50 years of experience in the gourmet food industry. As you know our inventory selection is more than 20,000 items which consists of major brand within ethnic and gourmet categories. One of our most popular brands is Jane’s Krazy Mixed-up seasonings. Haddon House is very strong when it comes to selling our products. However, Haddon House needs improvement when it comes to employee turnover. Haddon House has three major locations, two locations in New Jersey, and one in South Carolina. There are 60 people who work in our corporate office and about 700-800 sales representative. Looking back at the last five years there has only been four employees who have been promoted and a handful of employees who left the company or got terminated. It is clear that these promotions happened because the supervisor of Accounts Payable decided to leave the company because she was moving out of state. This left her position open which then the supervisor of Account Receivable decided to take her position this way one of her employees could become the supervisor. This may not be considered a promotion because she was already a supervisor just moving to a new department. Furthermore, the young lady working in customer service has only been employed with the company for two years and she has a tough time trying to get promoted In addition to the employees in the cooperate office looking at the sales representative there have been at least three employees getting terminated each week. That is a really high number and it should not be like this at all. It should be in the company’s strong interest to want to keep their employees. There are many times where a sales representative will leave the company and then get hired again a month later. There are many questions that come with that. Are they leaving the company because their pay is not high enough and then join the

The field sales department is regarded by most as being the backbone of the company due to the vast engineering background all employees are required to have and the extensive interactions they have with the customers. The field sales department are all paid strictly on a commission basis with the salary ranging anywhere from $50,000 to $95,000. The inside sales department is responsible for supporting the field sales department by doing tasks such as, ordering equipment, expediting orders and quoting prices. In addition the inside sales department are responsible for handling all direct phone calls from customers interested about the prices of certain pieces of equipment. The inside sales representatives are paid on a salary basis with annual raises being based on the scores each employee receives on company performance appraisals. If an inside sales representative is performing their job to a high degree, they may in turn be asked to become a field sales department if the opportunity arises. In the midst of certain mistakes occurring, which have the potential to ruin Monarch’s credibility with customers if it continues; interviews with company employees have been conducted in which employees talk about their jobs and “point the finger” as to whom they deem responsible for the screw ups that have been occurring in the company.…
