A Sales Graveyard – You’re Set Up to Fail
Pros
• Fully remote work culture • Nobody really cares about what you do, which gives you physical freedom (but also emotional isolation)
Cons
* Disclaimer: These experiences reflect my personal case and may vary depending on team, region, or manager. Your experience could be different. • Micro-managing manager who expects you to be available 24/7 and calls you even on Friday evenings • Products outside the major offerings are nearly impossible to sell, especially in local markets • Zero localization effort – headquarters does not consider local needs or pricing structure • Constant “push! push! push!” from leadership, but no actual support or motivation • Sales Consultants are stupid, outdated, unmotivated, often sick, and completely unaligned with sales KPIs — yet they still receive 100% of their OTE • Extremely siloed organization: sales teams from other LOBs compete with you rather than collaborate • Internal politics are prioritized over customer success • Unrealistic quotas with little to no pipeline support • No career development path or mentorship — you’re on your own from day one • Expense approval is unnecessarily tight and discouraging
