Just Say No...Most of your customers will

Pros

Commissions are good if you even make it that far.

Cons

Where do I start? This is an extremely high pressure sales job. You are pretty much tricking customers into signing a long-term contract for more money with almost no incentive or added service. Extreme favoritism by upper management for certain employees. Dishonesty of upper management. People have gotten screwed out of money on their commission checks. Seasoned reps receive 3 times as many leads and are basically guaranteed commission without doing much work. You are taught to basically lie to customers regarding the price of their services. Extremely unethical pricing and very price discriminating.

Run!

Pros

Pre-acquisition, Stericycle provided hot leads and a supportive sales environment.

Cons

Post-Waste Management acquisition, conditions deteriorated. Hot leads were reassigned to inside sales, forcing us into constant cold calling. Unrealistic KPIs ensure failure. Incentives are negligible, crushing morale. HR enables nepotism, and management prioritizes inside sales, fostering a toxic, unfair workplace.
