HIGH turnover, frequent pay plan changes, unrealistic goals...if you like chaos, this is the place!
Pros
You can dress the way you want Liked most coworkers You get plenty of exercise walking to and from your car Always new people to meet with the high turnover
Cons
Unrealistic goals Many mid and upper level managers never did the sales job they are now managing Constantly creating new levels of management The number of prospects you are given to call keeps shrinking Most prospects you call have already been called several times Your territory makes a big difference if you will succeed or not...not a level playing field Your office and building you work in is constantly changing...I moved 9 times in just under two years! I had four different managers during this same time period. If you sell a contract and they pay monthly, they pay you a twelfth of your commission for the next year. If you quit or get fired, they do not pay you the remaining amount of your commission...they are making thousands a month on the high amount of reps leaving. I had three different pay plans in the time I was there. Managers are no longer held to the same performance standards as the reps on their teams...many walk around all day talking, smoking, surfing the net, tossing balls around, and talking about how good they were when they were a rep.
