Pros
I make good money. It is not easy.
Cons
Wow where to start!? I am in the top 4% of everyone at RR with my job. There are fewer than 9000 hours in a year. If you count on call, where I sleep with the co phone under my pillow and get up of it rings, I work over 4000 hours a year. This actually comes out to around $30.00 an hour. I am ordered to train people to COMPETE with me for opportunities, which lowers my pay. Add to that, a management team COMMITTED, to doing things as CHEAPLY as possible, to the extent of not hiring enough people to produce what is sold and you have this job in a nutshell. Can’t speak for any other branch with any first hand knowledge, and since a portion of my 401k is in company stock, I tell myself I just stumbled on to a crappy situation. Maybe I have drawn the short straw? Maybe my managers are just the worst at their jobs and it gets better as you move through the company? I doubt it! There are Regional VP’s cultivating this culture. Now, in defense of other RVP’s, they don’t all have a top producer/golden goose. I tell myself it just sucks from the top down for me. My team was unprepared mentally for success. They enjoy the accolades that come from the success I provide, but it is their collective first experience WITH, success! Before I took this job, I’d want to know if I’m taking this job at a branch with a top performer in the sales position they are lying to you about.
