Pros
EXPENSES!! Some wonderful colleagues Pay new hires well If you get lucky, commission can be good but it is probably 1 in 50 chance No stress other than not making money Impossible to be fired Good benefits
Cons
Where to start .. - inexperienced front line managers with zero ability to add value to complex opportunities. Have made so many awful management hires - upper management sits in the UK and manage by bullying and fear - 2 people smashing their targets and everyone else on 0% - give people 20 accounts but want people to have 100 interactions per week. People just make up the stuff to add to crm - not a sales job, basically an old school marketing role - all the good sales people have left, nobody ever comes back! - the atmosphere is toxic as the majority hate the place - now bad for your CV - so disconnected from what prospects and customers want - management treat employees like school children, it is embarrassing - going back to the 80s on approach to working. At the desk from 9 to 5.30pm, no working from home etc
