A Beatdown

Pros

There are windows and air conditioning. The building is nice and we're allowed to leave for lunch

Cons

A sales approach that was effective 15 years ago. Customer's purchasing processes have evolved but our sales approach hasn't. Social networking, emails, and relationship building are all shunned and management believes our dilapidated phones are the only tools we need to close deals. There are roughly 5 metrics you are measured against and I spend more time during the day trying to meet the ever changing goals than I do selling. My career is in sales and I'm passionate about what I do but this job isn't sales. We are pushy order takers and command 0 respect from prospects. If you are looking to become a complacent, fat and miserable excuse for a human then look no further.

Pros

Basics such as coffee, soda pop, candy, snacks, break room, big screen television, pool table, shuffleboard, chairs, tables.

Cons

There are no leaders. With few exceptions, department level management is insular, arrogant, offensive, vapid, mendacious, and juvenile. Middle management turnover is too fast to evaluate. Upper management has no authority; they merely implement edicts. C-level players are concerned only about stock price. The corporate model is “More, Faster.” No organic growth. Industry awards rotate according to board seats occupied by C-level. For insight, find all, then sort by Ratings in reverse order.
