Dream gig for a musician but unsistanible and unstable
Pros
- Get to talk to people about music gear and pro audio(+ if you're knowledgeable in this field. - WFH - Good start for getting into sales. Most leads are warm but some leads are actually cold calls. It all depends on the campaign. - Employee discounts
Cons
- Ever increasing expectations and goal metrics which are not reasonable to hit in this down turn in consumer spending. Commissions don't get paid out until 45 days after products ship out(given that products come in stock from backorders). Loss of commission payout happens when items are returned. - Raises don't make sense considering I sold close to $900k in sales and was given a smaller raise than I was the previous year which I made less than that in sales. Too many factors on the commission structure was designed to ensure I got paid out less. - Expectations change CONSTANTLY. Started out as an outbound gear advisor and the sales floor combined with inbound when I hit the floor. A promise was made that we would make more money but my paystubs show otherwise.
