The Most Valuable Learning Experience, Mixed Management and or Other Teams
Pros
I worked under Manager of Support Sales with the top grossing team. It was a incredible valuable learning experience in several key areas. She provided excellent discipline, fostering a structured environment that helped me understand the role throughly. Her insights into Taiwanese business culture were incredibly invaluable, offering a nuanced perspective that enhanced our approach with clients. Additionally, she ensured our team had a thorough understanding of the process of sales, accounting, engineering, compliance, hardware technology, which was crucial for our role as Inside Sales. Her guidance and mentorship were instrumental in my personal development as a professional.
Cons
Unfortunately, the higher-ups or other sales teams? often seemed disconnected from our team's contributions and needs. Despite our hard work, there were concerns regarding compensation. I always had to hide daily during lunch to avoid other sales teams. We worked in fear and then team members voluntarily worked overtime or skipped lunch to meet deadlines, we were sometimes micromanaged and reprimanded for going above and beyond to assist colleagues and clients (not our manager’s fault). This created a somewhat demotivating atmosphere and undermined the sense of teamwork we aimed to cultivate. as beneficial for my professional growth due to her effective leadership and dedication to our team's development.
