Pros
-There are some great managers there that really care about their people. If you get one of them you will be successful and shielded from politics -Promote from within -Easy to make changes, company is very flexible and often looking for people to develop and drive new divisions or changes -Develop and build a solid book of business -Some of the smartest and dedicated people in production and technology -Good commission plan
Cons
-Senior Sales Management is a dictatorship, no checks and balances. No sales policies are written down so things can change on a whim depending on how you are "perceived" by senior leaders -No recruitment plan, sales people have to do their own recruitment, also ALL new hires for the sales team have to interview with 5 different people from the senior management team, just very inefficient -While commission plan is good, you are on a draw -Senior management has a bullying mentality, passive aggressive emails are the norm -Limited time off policy, must accrue time -No work life balance, you are expected to be on call 24/7, people can burn out very easily this way -Lack of professionalism at the senior management level, boys club mentality -Management decisions are often made to please one senior manager, leadership is not valued or squashed -No formal training program, people are expected to train their colleagues without a formalized process in place. Doesn't set people up to succeed.
