- Calling on a list of prospects that have been targeted by every rep before you
- Other departments are overlaid on the same list, which creates internal competition fueled by office politics
- Market is saturated with competitors
- Implementation rarely goes as planned, and client services team is inexperienced and reluctant to help
- Product seems clunky and archaic compared to competition
- Cubicle environment is manageable when the team is doing well, but negativity spreads like wildfire
- An abundance of metrics makes the role very micromanaged
- Leadership rarely has answers to questions, which makes it difficult to become knowledgeable in the product
- Budget cutbacks led to the elimination of company-paid outings like recognition lunches, happy hours, and marketing materials for prospects (not to mention thousands of positions)
- High turnover makes it difficult to build relationships
- New employee onboarding is a disaster
- Lack of opportunities for upward mobility. Doing so typically means taking a pay cut. No thanks!
