Pros
i cannot think of even one
Cons
- Long uncompensated hours - Extensive time wasted in meetings, conference calls, etc that could be utilized in productive activity (at least 15-20 hours/wk) - Complex metrics that set a rep up for failure - Corporate politics and favoritism - No response from corporate for ethical issues by a team member that should have required severe consequences - Being cut off from company leads without notification - Being asked to attend meeting and phone conferences outside of normal business hours - Being expected/required to work 6 days a week, 70-90 hours per week without compensation of a base salary - Having cancelled appointments that you never even contacted or visited count against your closing percentage - Having existing clients that dont even count towards your metrics - sometimes totaling 30-40% of your monthly revenue target - Having cancellations show up on your next month's metrics - Allowing team members to threaten and bully co-workers without ramifications - Horrible mis-mangement by highly uneducated personnel - Excessive and harassing micro-management on a daily, sometimes hourly basis - Manager's manager doesn't want to be bothered with any concerns - HR is unresponsive and also betrayed confidentiality - Manager had 13 people quit in a 12 month period and is still employed - No opportunities to move up in the organization or to even transfer to another channel despite extensive education and experience
