Pros

Bonus structure was ok but in no way made up for the negatives

Cons

I was employed as a Sales Director with a remit of revamping an under performing sales team. I had four interviews prior to joining the business and in each one I clearly set out a structure that I would implement with the Publisher. I joined the business, within my first two days I was told to forget about everything that was discussed, concentrate on making 80 new business sales calls a day like the other Directors and manage my team by essentially shouting at them to do more. As other reviewers have pointed out, this is a grim place to work - You cant sit down, have to stand up all day to make calls, no fridge or cooking facilities, overpriced cafe offering unhealthy food, set breaks, unrealistic targets, no metrics to measure the products - everything was made up, clients lied to constantly. Everything said at interview was a lie, I don't understand the thought process of doing this - Better to be transparent about the culture and expectations although I guess very few people would join. The worst organisation I have ever experienced in my career

Pros

The business is very fast moving sales lead organisation. As a business we are going through a major growth stage having been through a number of mergers and acquisitions in the recent past. The structure is very flat, so expect high exposure to many areas across the business. This is a very hands on environment, if you are looking for a new challenge, there is nowhere better!

Cons

If you can get past the lack of resources and are prepared to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in this is a great company. There are limited benefits, but I get the impression these are all areas the business will focus on as it continues to expand. I have been with the business 4 months and the culture is developing daily. There is still some where to do here is we want a cohesive environment, but the hardest times are definitely behind us, this business is growing to bigger and better things.
