-product is outdated
-marketing is horrible. The only marketing startegy is email campaigns yet most customers have opted out of them
-tried to attend conferences to get product out and was denied (even though all our competitors attend)
-only expense reimbursement is for milelage. Cannot take customers out to lunch or bring them treats with coming out of your own pocket
-they set unrealistic and unattainable goals (only 1-3 sales reps ever meet their goals)
-sign on with the promise your territory will make x amount of dollars when that is completely unrealistic. Make sure you ask for past year actual sales NOT goals.
-expect cold meetings at schools and libraries when many of these buisness do not allow this anymore for safety reasons
-worked here for multiple years and never got to meet someone in person, you are really on your own without the support of any coworkers.
-no option for growth
