Regional Sales Director - Stay Away Or Move On

Pros

Great place for rookie sales people to learn or for legacy sales people who are allowed to hoard the good accounts. You wouldn't be one of those sales people though. Seasoned sales professionals should stay away.

Cons

Sr. sales leadership and management on the Strategic team is abysmal. This place is all about how long you've been there and who you know. I always read negative reviews here and think "those people probably aren't producers. They washed out and they're unhappy about it." This is not that, their top sales people are leaving in droves - hence the never ending sales positions available. It's crazy for such a small company to always have several open sales positions. This is turnover, not growth. There's no enterprise product yet so they're dumping a mandatory and significant increase in the laps of their customers to make up for it. No additional functionality, just a huge increase. Good luck expanding in those accounts. If you're a top producer, you can do significantly better. I know it to be true because I did it along with many others. Don't drink the koolaid, the grass is definitely greener.

Pros

Fake Culture with one solution resold to do the same thing in another area of the business.

Cons

Does not allow for an actual salesperson. Follow the yellow trick road of MEDDICC. As soon as a relationship is formed accounts are redistributed. ASDs have their favorites and your are just a number. The solutions are all the same and do the same thing, just repackaged and resold 5x into corporations. I have never worked for a manager who I respected so little. Will this company ever be profitable? Happy to put this prison sentence behind me.

Pros

Work from home, constant changes, great product, fun customers, lots of travel, when you're in the office you get free food and drinks, but really the product is about the only pro of this company

Cons

From the outside its like your FB profile, amazing, but in reality it's terrible. Like so unbelievably terrible, I can't put it in words. Yes the product is amazing but it stops there. People are constantly talking bad about each other, management has affairs (one tried with me). There is constant lying about pretty much everything. I can't even begin to describe how messed up this company is. The managing directors also love to spend money- it's out of control!! Matt the CEO- thought the gym towels were too hard and spent thousands on replacing them for softer ones. Not a big deal, but when you have employees like the csm that are way way under paid, then it hurts to see money being thrown around like that. I'm in sales and it's crazy the things we see. Sales managers think they are gods gift to the world yet they do nothing except go on "training" meetings which are really just drunken fest (they brag about it and I've seen photos). I make presidents club each year and manage by still treats me terrible.
