WM reviews

The pay is terrible, management has no idea how to manage. (Good people) just not at managing.

I suppose the biggest con would be the restructuring of the sales department. It was a major shock and seemed to come out of nowhere. I went from having a job I truly enjoyed to being unemployed in the span of a 5 minute Teams call. That’s upsetting on its own, but during the worst pandemic in a century, it was devastating. We all thought our jobs were secure, and the company had made a point to reiterate that starting in March 2020. We were well taken care of until until we suddenly weren’t. We were given severance packages, which was nice, but it didn’t really help with the hurt of being cut loose without warning by a company for which we were all proud to work. Another con - hitting salesforce metrics every month. A HUGE emphasis was placed on this. Of course, it was theoretically done to help reps build their pipelines and succeed, but it never felt that way. It seemed like more of a “everyone make sure to hit your salesforce numbers so corporate won’t be mad at us” type of situation. When the pandemic hit, I guess having good salesforce numbers was the only thing we could hang our hats on since sales slowed so much, but it wasn’t helpful and most likely caused some reps to put less than legit stuff in purely to keep themselves and their managers out of trouble.
