No One Cares About The Company, the Clients, or You
Pros
- Made great friends (but we all left) - Provided many sink or swim moments that have helped me easily excel in current positions - In the beginning, I had a great mentor that helped me build the foundation of my career today - Most people refused to do their jobs correctly, or at all - I took advantage of this to increase my knowledge, and become someone that too valuable to lose - benefits/401k were great in my company before the merger (benefits were a little high but we were a much smaller company)
Cons
- Too many products to sells and too many products that aren't even that great. - Tactics were outdated or just too basic. Clients don't know better until another company shows them. - There is no overall team. Your sales rep will throw you under the bus/cuss you out/give your personal cell number to clients/ completely forget about client meetings/will never answer your email and screen your calls. - the inside sales guys are treated like gods, yet I watched a 20-year-olds chug Pedialyte and talk about how much they hate the company all day. - I saw Scot every day he was in the office (it's not big) and he couldn't even remember my name let alone say Good Morning back to me. - Any positive reviews are from people in Director positions or higher. They act like there's no kool-aid, but it doesn't hurt to be positive with a pay raise. Most directors are only in that "position" to fill a title or an empty spot left by someone who was fired. - Look at all past directors on LinkedIn - each has taken lower a position elsewhere because they were never qualified for that role in the in the first place. - If you do your current role well, they'll never let you leave that position to do something new. - They gave unlimited PTO - no one managed a department and somehow one girl took 6 weeks PTO in 3 months. She still works there and now unlimited PTO was taken away.
