Gotta love money and having little to no free time to work here
Pros
Audi A4 avant company car (cruise control,heated seats, top quality infotainment system, self opening/closing boot and usually a brand new car given to you within 3 months of joining) Solid starting salary, £31 basic and 2-5k bonus per annum. Genuinely the best products on the market by a long shot All travel expenses paid for All the necessary equipment provided to do your job(laptop,phone,car,fuel card,hotel booking service) Top of the class sales data(customer leads,15 years+ historic sales information) Lifetime employment and 6month salary re-negotiations In my office there are multiple very kind/honest people to work with that make the job 100times better
Cons
Long time employed managers that can be borderline narcissistic and are all short sighted due to their quarterly bonus being 70% dependent on your performance. Horrific working hours, I average 14 hour days that include long commutes to my territory No excuses allowed for missed targets unless you’re actually dying Endless admin, I mean absolutely endless admin Constant stress Highly complex pricing and quoting structures Guilt tripped into overworking by hardcore managers Just a extremely demanding job in comparison to your pay packet, gets a lot better after 4-5year work but never becomes a truly manageable experience in my estimation(lots of balding managers due to stress) Complete luck of the draw as to what products you are selling, completely changes the job experience Complete luck of the draw as to your working area, could be a 1hr furthest drive or 4. Few women, not a surprise or issue as it’s a hardcore sales role but always makes a workplace less interesting High activity volume shoved down your throat every second of the day by management
