Cons
There is No work life balance in the CV Sales division- very aggressive unrealistic sales quotas. District sales manager makes job enjoyable or miserable depending on who you work for. When PTO is figured they use 7.5 hours for each day. We work well over 7.5 hour days. My District Manager routinely emailed and texted reps many times each week before 8 am and after 6 pm “sorry for late notice but...”. You needed to check emails and texts at all hours. He had a lot of conference calls & lots of reports taking time away from seeing customers. Consistently worked 10 plus hour days. Average work week 55 hours. Many managers obsessed with posting on workplace (corporate facebook). We were Required by our district manager to constantly post and respond to his posts. It gives upper management the illusion that district sales managers “engage” with sales people. Posting is not engaging your people, it’s often distracting and takes time away from customers. It’s also a potentially legal liability. Every 1 1/2 to 2 years there is Complete shift in top management changing roles or leaving the company. As a result the sales division has a complete shift in changing priorities and performance measurements.
