- While executive leaders try to express themselves as humble businessmen, their occasional prideful comments over the years have impacted investor relations.
- Role responsibilities were often changing.
- Will not release any former employee's sales record, limiting job opportunities elsewhere.
- Each sales manager had different expectations. Some sales managers were in favor of their employees saving the company money by working from home a few days a week, while other managers expected their employees to travel in the field at least 4 - 4.5 days a week. It did not seem fair we were all paid the same base salary, despite having different expectations, territory sizes, account loads, and work history.
- Advancement opportunities are a bit confusing. While there are many different types of senior level roles that one could strive for and obtain, there was not a direct line for advancement. It's often debated what role the next advancement opportunity would be... For example a National Account Manger being promoted to a Regional Manager; it doesn't make sense as they are completely different roles. How does one go from negotiating multimillion dollar contacts (driving incredible revenue) to managing field reps?
