High Turnover, Poor Leadership, and a Toxic Sales Culture

Account executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart people in pockets of the org who genuinely care and health insurance.

Cons

• Sales leadership is deeply misaligned with what good enablement looks like. The VP of Sales lacks meaningful experience (less than two years as a rep before jumping to a leadership role), and unfortunately, it shows. • Instead of developing the team, leadership frequently inserts themselves into late-stage deals and plays games with pricing, often creating more chaos than support. • High turnover in sales isn’t just a trend—it’s a red flag. There’s a constant revolving door, which speaks volumes about the internal culture. • Minimal onboarding or enablement for new hires. You’re expected to ramp yourself while navigating unclear processes and shifting priorities. • Morale is low and transparency is lacking. Decisions are top-down and rarely in the best interest of the team.
