Why we leave sales

Pros

leader in mechanical joining technologies and respected in the business for its products and ability to innovate. my peers and other junior sales people were awesome group. great support from corporate functions back at the main office

Cons

sales leadership is terrible from the upper tiers to the top. The guidance and training we get from them is terrible, even when we ask for help and assistance. If you ask your manager's manager, then you will be abused for being critical of one of the few favored by sales leadership. At the top, this system is actually the preferred way of doing things until you earn favor or as they say your stripes. The commission structure and incentive structure also favors the old guard and the sales leaderships favoritres, and watch for your sales leader to take credits for your efforts.

Micro-management.

Pros

Decent product with good market reputation.

Cons

Vacant leadership, void of direction. Arrogant sales management that demeans and micro manages the sales force. Capped commission structure that does not allow someone who wants to make real dollars the ability to achieve it.

Pros

Most of the non-management employees are intelligent, competent, and decent human beings. If liking your coworkers is your only requirement for being happy in a job, this might be the place for you.

Cons

Near-sighted management. Imports most supply chain talent from Carrier instead of developing the employees and promoting from within. Below industry average pay. 1950s view of the world. Motivation through fear. No work-life balance. Only one director in the Easton facility is female. Management that is good at shifting the blame and taking credit for the work of others. Sales team that is unable to accept any of the shortcomings as faults of their own. Organization focuses entirely too much on sales and not enough on the production/supply aspect of the business. Manager feedback that is rude or demeaning is considered perfectly acceptable. New hires are brought in with little o no training and expected to solve the problems of the Victaulic world. Seasoned employees are expected to do the same without being equipped with the proper tools to act effectively. Low morale and management that either doesn't notice or doesn't care.
