profit share & commission plans are pathetic compared to what they used to be - both are now "fine tuned" to ensure your overall pay will fit nicely into a specific range that is predetermined. the days of a "barn burner" profit share or commission check are long gone. if you make too much money, you will negate their all important monthly "fall through".
they no longer value building customer relationships and are more concerned with the info you log into the CRM. you can be a top revenue performer but if you don't log in the customer information that you worked to learn, you're considered to be not doing your job. they would rather pay several mediocre performers on the cheap than pay one highly compensated top performer - that goes for branch mgrs & sales reps
some serious micro management on the RVP level. branch mgrs can no longer make major decisions without approval of the district mgr who has to ask the rvp. There is one RVP that is condescending and rude to the branch mgrs and sales team.
not much room for advancement if you're not in the click
