Paying New Hires More Than Tenured Employees
Pros
-Lots of networking and happy hours -Good sales experience -Some free gifts from partners -Room for growth -Some managers are great -Don't feel micromanaged and you can run your book of business how you want as long as you're doing your job and making quota
Cons
-We found out that they are paying new hires fresh out of college with barely any experience at least $10k-$20k more in base pay than those of us who were hired a couple of years ago, who are only making $30k-$35k in base. With how long it takes to make actual money for the company by building up your book of business, those of us who have been working on accounts for a while are way more valuable than new hires and deserve to be paid at least what they are making. The commission takes way too long to actually make, especially a good amount of commission, and we have been working hard to build up our books and relationships with these businesses. Are we not worth anything to this company? Even though we will make you more money than a new hire will? Very interesting. With the rise of inflation and insane cost of living, Insight should be paying us more in base pay. What particularly irks me is that these new hires are male and are making more than my female coworkers in base pay. But the company wants to claim to be inclusive and a place for women in business. So why not put your money where your mouth is and pay us the same? -Every support team and partner team you depend on to help you close a sale is so disorganized and gives you incorrect info that it's detrimental to your sales and makes everything so chaotic. It's very stressful feeling like you're doing the work that's meant to be done by 5 different teams yourself and still not being compensated fairly. -Takes over 2 years to build up your sales books enough to make any decent commission -PTO does not roll over into the new year in states that don't require it by law (Arizona is my state) despite the company claiming to be ethical. -Lots of toxic positivity from leaders when you express genuine concerns. -They will increase your quota mid sales quarter so it's unobtainable for you to reach and then they don't have to pay you more in commission.
