Training is atrocious. Your mentor is likely someone who wants you to fail that's in your territory so they can continue selling to your customers. The first 3 months you are not allowed to pitch or sell product, you have to be certified. So other reps on your team will "help" sell your products for you to your customers untill "certified". But you receive no credit for it. If you do not sell anything while being certified, be prepared to be on the naughty list and be talked about badly. Yes I know that made no since because you are training, but it's fact. They want you selling even when you can't sell. Don't ask for help, if you do they will further micromanage . Selling is 15% of the job. So much of it is bs paperwork and reports they force on you to keep you busy. You gotta have 25 quality meetings a week. The company expects you to walk into dealerships, get to the owner or decision maker and take roughly 1.5 hours of their time per meeting. You are also responsible for parties, planning capital one events, budgeting. All for 108k a year base. THERE IS NO RAMP UP PAY, COMMISSION IS Convoluted, YOU WORK HARDER THEN WHAT THE PAY YOU.
Whenever you here then say, "I'm just kidding".....they aren't they are serious
Be prepared to live in the dealerships. You work more hours then a finance manager.
Insanely high turnover, the director of sales and VP of sales, told their share holders they they could DOUBLE THEIR ORIGINATIONS, and now they are slaughtering their employees to get it done. By any means necessary, morals are out the window and respect for their employees is out the window.
Jump on if you dare.
Things besides selling you have to do:
Meetings everyday in the middle of the day.
Tons of off hours work
Constant emails that they are expecting you to memorize while visiting dealers.
Compliance
Violations
Funding
Constant changes of entire programs started 2 days prior that they want to put you on an hour meeting for while expecting you to hit your KPIs.
Don't get me started about the ALPs
Reporting that isn't necessary
It's just an absolute mess.
