Commercial Sales is a mess - Commercial Account Executive Samsara Employee Review

commercial doesnt have any real leadership (new directors are working on it), the managers only have dollar signs in their eyes, were just a number. Not to mention the level of micromanagement is absolutely unreal. Dials and timecards are watched over like a hawk. first of all dont take the job, second if you do be prepared to have a professional babysitter watching over you and not trust you to get the job done. the workload is far too heavy especially considering tossing that in with your daily expectations of 50 prospecting dials + whatever how many dials/demos/calls you have to make to move your pipeline along. The quotas are wayyyy too high especially if you get hired externally, not to mention, MONTHLY QUOTAS. If you dont hit two months in a row at 90%, you get placed on a pip. Most reps use that as a 30 day warning to find a new job. Compensation is good but everytime they raise quotas you lose money because contractually youre either at 45k/45k, 55k/55k, 60k/60k split. Do the math, youll get paid less. Then they expect you to go to mid-market after 12 months when people are getting fired/quitting left and right. A mm rep quit on her way to work in her Uber for goodness sake cause she couldnt stand it.
