Vantaggi
I worked as a Samsung Field Sales Manager (FSM) for 2020 Companies. The benefits came from the experience I received being an FSM in training, demoing and driving sales. The team I worked for was exceptional, and we learned from each other in styles and techniques.
Svantaggi
The upper management was totally unprepared for what Samsung tasked them to do, and we in turn were unprepared. We were out in the field and had to improvise immensely, and faced unwarranted disciplinary action when we weren't trained properly. My personal district manager was unprofessional, and had somewhat of an antagonistic relationship with me. We were advised one thing on our monetary compensation, and got another. It was overall unfair to us in the field. The final nail in the coffin was when a lot of us were unceremoniously laid off, and either offered part time positions, or an adjustment pay that gave us a $500.00 lump sum in return for not going to work for a competitor for 18 months instead of a bonus that worked hard to get. This was very insulting to all of us that toiled in the field for a year.
