Great commission structure but management can be cutthroat

Sales representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Commission Structure and Sales Tools.

Cons

Each division is run as it's own profit center. While company policies are the same from division to division the autonomy afforded to upper management can and does get abused. If you're a sales leader watch your six your hard earned commissions can be stolen if that deal hasn't closed in 30 days of an "at will" termination. It's an old game in the new home biz. Managers count their bonus first and walk on sales people to get there.
