A bit chaotic

Pros

Good benefits Good Work life balance Great co-workers - you feel like you have an extended family

Cons

Need to hire qualified management. People with no experience are being hired to do jobs. This is set up for failure. The new merger has been a little too chaotic. We're expected to do our jobs with no direction. Basically we have to read the minds of our management.

This is a Big Company, multiple locations, easy to move and easy to make connections if you reach out. Good benefits and bonuses.

Cons

A lot of yellow tape, and dying culture. It is very Type A do your job and head home. Easy to feel lost

Pros

Downtown location. Nice co-workers.

Cons

Rules of engagement was a joke. ROE allowed other sales people to steal your signed inked deals which impacted my sales quota. Very shaddy. For instance I sold a deal worth 3 months quota. A sales rep in another department claimed he already had account. I worked exclusively with client for two months. The client President of the company signed the deal. The day after it was signed the sales rep and gis manager went after the sale. They were awarded the sale. The client was furious because he had no idea who this sales rep was and caused discord during major fiber installation. Client wanted me back on the account and told management he did not know the street sales rep. Management ignored clients concerns. Absolute mess steer clear.
