Zones reviews

Not making enough money for the amount of time and effort I have given to the company. Very saturated and competitive market. It is a constant uphill battle because Zones is not in the top 10 of global IT suppliers and doesn't carry the respect that more well establish suppliers have with customers and manufacturers. If you haven't been there more then 3-5 years it is tough to have large enough/profitable enough accounts to make the money you would like. Too many repetitive product trainings after a year or so of employment.

Low pay Commissions are a scam; Example: $100,000 Hardware sale at Zones at 10 points of margin (10%) is $10,000 but as an Account executive you will receives 10% of that 10% which is $1,000. $1,000 from a $100k sale just doesn't make sense especially after 30% tax as well on top of that. $100,000 sale = $700 in your pocket. Expectations are to have a run rate of business $500k+ a year and the average Account Executive will earn roughly $42-50,000 a year even with this amount of success. Looking at the most tenured Account executives (3-6 years) average roughly $45-55k a year and they are considered the more successful people within the company. The only true people that have a shot a at making any money are Senior management and the Enterprise reps.
