Cons
Company strategy changes every few months. I was asked for a 2 yr commitment only to be fired the day before my 3 month training period was up. Before that I had one five minute talk with my boss in which I asked was I in danger of getting fired to which my boss said he'd rather talk about how we can make sure I succeed . My boss's bosses were detached and probably incompetent. The owner is a nice older millionaire who should probably retire. My boss would tell me to do one thing, then tell me to do the opposite, then go back to the first option. My boss talked about how his neighbors were doctors, what car he had, what car he wanted, how his father tried out for the Royals, and more. Then he told people to stop socializing and talking. I think me being his age was a problem. He likes young people who can't see through his smoke and mirrors. He has more shoes than Imelda Marcos. Clients hate being handed around like a bong to new AEs each couple months. Training is fun but not that reality based. They are an IT company with a messed up computer system. sales training is based on question based selling concept that is cult like and weird. Auburn where many sales trainers are looks down on Portland office.
