Good if you get the right "Territory" - Territory Manager Accelion Employee Review

Pros

Paid weekly and you get to make your schedule

Cons

If you are in a city that has competitors and their prices are lower, it will be hard to make sales. Potential customers are mostly unresponsive. You "create your own" schedule but your manager is repeatedly adding random meetings and calls and you have to adjust to that. Have to give progress reports everyday even if you did not have any success. Managers track how many calls you make even if you have a low referral count. They also try to impose their ideas for you which worked for them but knowing that you are in a bad market. Getting to tier 3 commission in a bad market is very difficult. Tier 1 and 2 commissions are terrible. and weekly numbers are made public so everyone can see and then Monday morning you have to read out how unsuccessful you were. Very minimal advancement opportunities.

Thank you for your review. I'm sorry the territory you were hired for didn't meet your expectations. We assume all our Territory Managers strive for the highest compensation level they can achieve, and we provide ongoing coaching to assure the best possible outcomes. Part of that coaching is reporting the actions our folks take in their assigned territory, and our recommendations on how they can build on their successes so that results improve and become more predictable. Since you create your own schedule, besides the 1-hour Monday morning meeting, you decide (along with your manager) when that coaching occurs. We regret you found this to be an imposition on your time. As a sales organization that believes in transparency and professional growth, we provide a progressive commission structure that rewards top performers. Part of that transparency is sharing our individual weekly results so that we can learn together as a team what was successful and what wasn’t. We feel it's important to offer this level of transparency so that when we do promote individuals, it is clearly due to historical results and competency rather than favoritism or other subjective variables. I'm sorry you feel like your manager wasn't respecting your time and that their coaching wasn't beneficial. We instruct our managers to be educators and coaches with a heart of grace to their direct reports who demonstrate a strong will to succeed. Our managers should only be disciplinarians to individuals that have the skills to succeed but continuously show a lack of ambition or willingness to try. As for advancement opportunities, that's one topic I will have to disagree with you on. As an organization that grew headcount by 64% in 2022; and, on the day you wrote this review, we posted an internal DSM position in Virginia. That DSM position is the fifth new second level management position we have created in 2022. We take extensive steps to publicize our management job openings to all employees and welcome everyone to apply. As a company that exclusively promotes from within, we look for internal-only candidates who exhibit a track record of excellent results, accountability, and a growth mindset. That said, Accelion only has three levels of management (I am the President and along with the Vice President represent the third/top level); therefore, I can understand if someone from a larger corporate background might expect more opportunities for advancement. Thank you again for your review. I do appreciate the constructiveness of your feedback!

Pros

Working at Accelion gave me something I didn’t fully appreciate until I left: support, structure, and people who actually wanted to see me succeed. I felt respected from day one. My Area Manager always kept it real with me — pushed me when I needed it, but also gave me space to grow. I liked having control over my schedule, and when I was putting in the work, I was making good money. The Atlanta client team had real energy, and we looked out for each other.

Cons

It’s not a hand-holding type of job. You need to be disciplined and ready to hustle — especially in a market like Atlanta where competition is real. Some days were frustrating, no doubt. But it wasn’t the kind of frustration that came from lack of support — more like the usual ups and downs of the field.

Thanks for your review! I know exactly who you are! We (me and Christian) wished things would have worked out better for you in Atlanta! As we discussed during your final call, their were uncontrollable issues that you/Accelion couldn't solve; your amazing attitude carried the market so far and that is something we will always remember. Be well my friend! If you need an LOR for your future job search, shoot me or Chelcey an email and I'll work with Christian to write one up for you. :)

Pros

It's almost impossible to think of anything but if I had to say something nice it would be that you are paid weekly.

Cons

Oh boy, where do I begin? First of all, do some research outside of Glassdoor about this company. This company does not care about its employees. You are simply a money generator for them. You will be written up immediately if your sales numbers do not satisfy them. Management will embarrass you in front of your peers on the weekly team meetings if your numbers dip. The CEO of the company will have you jump on a call with him within the first week of employment to make it seem like he will be involved in the day-to-day of the job. That will be the first and last time you talk to him. During my call with him, he literally bragged about how rich he was for an hour straight. I wish I was joking. He will also try and sell you some idea that there are Territory Mangers getting five-figure paychecks. If you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. The training was abysmal. Managers will gossip about other employees behind their back. Just sort these reviews by "lowest rated" and see some of the unprofessional responses from the company.

While we disagree with this narrative, we want to clarify our culture. At Accelion, our involuntary separations stem from a lack of willingness and effort, not a lack of skill. We give employees immense grace and extended time to hit targets, provided they bring a positive attitude and a willingness to follow direction. When you talk about doing research on Accelion outside of Glassdoor; I assume you are referring to Reddit. Notice that the majority of the negative comments about Accelion are made by one profile of which the poster speaks negatively about 11 positions they've held and only has positive things to say about 1 prior job. Regarding our introductory call, sharing my personal journey from a lower-class background without a college degree to building successful businesses was meant to relate to the career struggles you mentioned, not to boast. Finally, we took your internal complaints seriously and invested significant time coaching your manager to address valid criticisms, though the frustration was mutual due to performance and attitude challenges. We wish you the best moving forward.
