Svantaggi
The dilapidated environment with poor ventilation and heating, clutter, and dreary, neglected furniture that appears to have been found at a landfill may affect your everyday mental health. You may forget that you are bringing money to a business that in return cannot invest in proper furniture, desks and chairs, cleaning tools, markers, pens, paper or a better functioning vacuum. If leadership has remembered it is your first day, you may be presented with a Chromebook that may work without freezing or shutting down on a daily basis. The 'tech deck' which should be referred to as 'tech card' for its singular tool of sales engagement platform SalesLoft does not run well on the Chromebooks as the makeshift laptops are not business machines. As an admin I was not privy to account information, but worked mainly on spreadsheets, not knowing their purposes. This position will not be refilled, but know the culture is unspokenly one with large power distances. Remain in your station or face the consequences. Poor formal announcement of warnings. Little to no positive feedback. There are no incentive programs, no sales competitions, and no employee relations efforts, despite plans of implementing an employee pod program. Repetitive sales training that take up time with diminishing returns. The new sales trainer is very gifted and promising, but it is only a matter of time before leadership hinders her ability, too. Nightly reports are mandatory, yet you may get little to no feedback when support is needed. Not a space where ideas are welcome to increase the efficiency of business operations. Poor retention rate of young employees. Those fresh out of college with high hopes for progressive workplaces and open workspaces will not find that here. If you are of an older generation and are used to mistreatment maybe this work environment will suit you for a longer period of time. High turnover of female employees. There is a disparity in female salespeople. We need more women in sales, and we need more men empowering women in sales. If there is not an IMMEDIATE direct correlation between your efforts and ROI for the sales process your efforts will be deemed as unnecessary and problematic. The most important person in this company that manages the daily operations and client satisfaction is severely underpaid and underappreciated. The Buy-The-Build clients should have none of these internal problems, but if salespeople are seeking an in-house position, keep searching. Most importantly, there is a history of sexual harassment claims and assault at this company that should worry anyone interested in working here.
