Management is sales department is horrible. I was top in my sales but because my manager just didn't like me, he made my life a living hell despite my hard work, and devotion to the company and my goals. My manager sometimes ignored me for several days for asking challenging questions of him, He hired a person who had a terrible performance record but hired her on our team becuase she cried in the interview then the rest of the team had to pick up her slack. I was also told from the same manager that I would not get as good of a review because I chose to advance as an "individual contributor" instead of going down the management road. Our sales team was once yelled at for over achieving on our quarerly goal, becuase they would have to pay us more than anticipated. Also went back on their agreement to pay out full commission to an account executive who acheived an unexpected high goal past his quota. I was also told by my manager verbatim: "You think like a girl, you think too much." I've had one excellent manager in the four years that I was there, but the rest of managers on the sales team were completely inexperienced, immature, unprofessional and rude. The bad managers were more focused on playing the political game and not being an effective manager.
