Constant Leadership Turnover – In less than a year, the outside sales department had 3 VPs and 5 different directors, each with different priorities, creating confusion, instability, and ever-changing expectations.
Unrealistic Sales Goals – Despite hiring freezes and rep attrition, goals remained unchanged and unattainable, making commissions difficult to earn.
Toxic & High-Pressure Culture – Leadership applies micromanagement, excessive reporting, and a lack of real coaching or development. Instead of supporting managers, the focus is on blame and pressure.
Retaliation & No Job Security – Raising concerns about unrealistic expectations or leadership issues results in corrective actions and increased scrutiny. Terminations often feel pre-planned rather than performance-based.
