Pros
- Lots of bonuses - The pressure makes you bond with Colleagues and there are some really fantastic people in the office - Ability to earn far more than OTE - IF you are liked enough by senior management or they want to hold you up as a good example of "the model in motion"
Cons
- Bullying, belittling, badgering senior Management who believe man management means threatening staff with the sack. - Attitude comes from the very top down so not going to change while C levels remain - Office atmosphere is toxic to say the least when things are not going well. God forbid a senior manager might be on the verge of losing a bonus! Heaven forfend a zero goes missing in their salary! If a senior manager is not getting paid well, they will take their pound of flesh from the poor saps not hitting target - which will typically be the newer people. - No training. And I do mean ZERO training. "Here is your laptop and your phone, why have you not hit your target yet?!" - Creates a real "Sink or swim (by pushing others below you and stepping on them)" attitude in some people and is actively encouraged, even rewarded. - Senior management can do no wrong. Untouchables. No accountability. - The thought process is - if it works in the US, it will work worldwide. I don't even know where to begin with this one.
