Sales Organization needs new culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay for sales and sales support roles Good 401k matching

Cons

The Executive Leadership Team and Sales Leadership have killed any excitement, energy, fun, and inspiration for the sales employees over the past couple years. Sales is run by technicians, not sales people. It shows in the culture (who makes the Sales Kick Off party on a Tuesday, and requires the sales training to be 11 hours on the next day?). Work hard, play hard used to be the driving factor here. Now it's work hard, work more hard while having no fun, no inspiration, and no sales culture.

Pros

Benefits are good, 401K match is good

Cons

Politically run, executive management changes routinely causing strategy to regurgitate cyclically. Disrespectful to quality of life needs. Run strictly for VC exit strategies. VPs of the technical areas are clueless and extremely COA and political. Optics drive decisions not common sense.

Sinking Ship

Pros

They pay well, offer some decent benefits, and are pretty flexiable.

Cons

Poor management (worst I've ever had, and it gets worse), limited time off, constant loss of customers, existence of old technologies and implementation of new technologies "just 'cause". They also want to offer to kill kids, and circumvent the law if needed. Then say that you're racist just because of your skin color. It's a breathing vessel of politics.
