Great Culture and Products. LOW pay! POOR management!

Sales representative

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture at Quest is pretty awesome. It is a casual work environment with a lot of younger professionals. Also, the company takes you on a vacation for sales every year to motivate you. The management is very helpful but also inexperienced in the Austin office.

Cons

Management can improve their training and management skills. It would be great to see more females in management roles as well. The sales compensation is painfully LOW. You do a lot of work and follow up for little pay, even if you are hitting your numbers. When you hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of product a year and you can’t feed your kids, while the CEO lives lavishly on a lake something is WRONG.

Since you are a current employee, I'd invite you to contact me directly at luann.johnson@quest.com. I'd like to hear more specifics about some of your points including sales compensation. I'd also be interested in learning about what type of training you need that isn't currently being provided. Culture is important to me and to Quest and all of these things matter. I can promise that I will respond to you directly if you care to contact me. LuAnn CHRO
