Pros

Sales Incentives are World Class- I travelled all over the world as a result of top performance. Double comission months, sports events etc., you can earn really good money and do experiences of a lifetime if you are prepared to graft. Relatively easy sell compared to other sales jobs given brand and market dominance.

Cons

Culture- in order to progress/get promotions things were based entirely around who were 'sucking up' to the right people and presenting themselves in a certain light rather than overall performance. It is not the place you can just get your head down, perform and see a career path. You have to play politics to succeed. Processing of sales was a minefield, there are numerous CRM systems which are extremely complex and invaraibly led to endless customer service issues which were no fault of your own but you had to deal with which took away from selling time. The selling of the product is the easy bit, it's the processing that was the time consuming part.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying working at IRIS. We’re passionate about creating a sociable environment and are in the process of organising Christmas parties across our UK offices and encouraging teams to come together to celebrate and socialise. We’re also excited to be offering an online Christmas party to our staff who are unable to attend the in-person parties. This follows the success of our summer party, of which we were proud to receive fantastic feedback. We’re proud to have hosted some fantastic in-person and online Macmillan Coffee Mornings, in which everyone had the opportunity to come together to raise money for charity as well as socialise with their colleagues across teams and departments. We’re surprised and disappointed by your comments regarding our training courses, as we’ve received glowing feedback from our employees, such as ‘Training is always available’ and ‘Excellent training provided’. Our L&D team are always working hard to provide all our employees with a range of opportunities to support their growth and development, such as our High Potential Programme, to support the business’ future leaders, our seasonal training curriculum with courses available to everyone, and our fully funded apprenticeships and Masterships. Some examples of training sessions we run are ‘Growing your Network’ to aid progression and career growth and ‘Step into Management’ to offer new managers the skills and expertise they need to run their teams effectively. Our IT Service desk is a simple and easy way to find help and guidance and out IT department is always working hard to reply to queries as fast as possible. We’re always looking for ways we can be the best we can be, and we would welcome any further suggestions. Please speak to your HR representative or leave a comment in our next Peakon survey. Kind regards, the HR team

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re very proud of our extensive range of outstanding products and services that we provide to our customers, as well as our recent focus on cloud technologies. We’re delighted that you recognise this, as we work hard to continually listen and act on customer feedback and innovate to provide excellent customer experience. We’re proud to have recently been shortlisted for the ‘Company of the Year’ award at the Bett Awards, crowned ‘Tech Employer of the Year’ at the Thames Valley Tech Awards, and be certified as a Great Place to Work© for the third year running. Paying our employees fairly for their work is of the upmost importance to us, and we are proud to run an annual salary review process, which includes using external benchmarking data, to make sure we are paying fairly and competitively compared to the market. We are also delighted to reward our fantastic salespeople with a comprehensive commission scheme with the chance to earn 200% of commission when the target is achieved. We also provide a range of other incentives and rewards for our salespeople, such as regular competitions with the chance to win big prizes and our Elite Club’s luxury trips to Las Vegas and other exciting places. We’re continuing to increase employee engagement in Peakon, our engagement platform, and are so pleased to have attained an engagement score of 7.9 for our Commercial department, which is above our industry benchmark. We’re also consistently scoring high in our drivers for ‘Reward’, ‘Organisational Fit’ and ‘Management Support’. We’re always looking for ways we can be the best we can be, and we would welcome any further suggestions.
