don't think this is a 9-5 job. far from it. - Account Executive Combined Insurance Employee Review

if you don't live and breathe the company, it'll never be enough for them. we are human, not robots. we do have a life outside of the company. it doesn't seem to matter. i don't need to be told how much other areas are making in sales every week. i also don't need conference calls for not making sales. the calls end up pinpointing the people who are struggling or might have other issues going on in life... but they're MANDATORY if you didn't make a sale, regardless of the reason. does it really matter what my reasons are? if i'm having problems with the job, i should be able to go to my manager and get help. i should be comfortable and have some sort of trust with my manager to get the help. but if you're new, you might not get that kind of treatment.
