-If you are not familiar with office politics, you will find yourself a little overwhelmed until you are either exhausted or smarten up
-Don't expect management to resolve any of your work issues or performance deterrents: you're on your own here
-As a sales-driven organization, you will soon learn where you stand on the totem pole
-Management's number one concern is sales: everyone and everything is secondary and expendable
-Sales execs soon learn they must find their own leads, constantly defend themselves, and not expect any coaching from management
-Management does not take initiative in training any staff: new staff coached by existing staff or learn as they mature into position
-Over-time is expected: regular 9-5 is frowned upon - if you're not "sweating", you're not impressing them
-Family life and quality of life is secondary to this organization
-Be able to defend yourself and your performance in any position within this organization.
-Management style is "divide and conquer". Team mentality is discouraged
-Bullying is common tactic for upper management
