Scam-like:
- OTE quoted is not achievable unless you are a showroom favourite as management assign leads on this basis & not fairly on rotation. Becoming a showroom favourite is highly unlikely due to getting so few leads; regardless of conversion, it’s justified with revenue full stop. The exception may be starting in the winter sale where you will build your figures rapidly (supposedly).
- Target allocation does not reflect the basics eg how many hours worked, some weeks it will simply be revenue target divided between x amount of staff. And yes, it’s weekly with the monthly curve being a total mystery to management.
- Earning money even less likely now that margin management & it’s related bonus has been removed. Why? Managers would butt in and offer ridiculously low offers, below the margin, through desperation to get the figures on the board.
- A LOT of reception work. That’s where the leads are is clap trap, aside from weekends when there are dedicated lead takers & it’s forbidden for you to try.
- Fairly unprofessional management, very emotionally charged.
- Expect to get leads/ sales assigned to others without discussion with you. Keeping a written note of all Sales is essential to notice any wrongdoing.
- Only part-time hours
- The basic is MINIMUM WAGE. Management don’t seem to know that £29k basics are considered fairly entry level in sales, they relate everything back to retail. Or worse, McDonalds.
- Constantly laying people off. It seems every time the showroom doesn’t hit target, the bottom in the year to date goes. Nasty if tables are turned & you are the one calling time. My manager did not respond to the expected reference request from my new employer.
- Strange sycophantic vibe re the owner Malcolm.
