Svantaggi
Worked there for three months. Company went from private to public and was in the process of reorganizing company to meet financial quotas, so they could sell the company for a profit in the future. As a result, bottom line was priority. Managers didn't really want to hear any excuses, they wanted results. This was a problem, because they weren't taking care to listen to long term implementation for sustainable growth of their consumers. They wanted reps to sell and to find new income despite regional and cultural differences. It takes time to develop an interest and approve budgets in public school systems, which was in direct conflict with managements priority to meet specific financial benchmarks on a time line. I was the only marketing rep. hired who had actually used the programs in a classroom environment. None of the other representatives had any experience in special education. Huge turn over with staff in all departments. Very "clicky" people on staff. Hit and miss bonuses promised and not delivered. In marketing, at least, they were looking for "Cherry Pickers" to increase sales for short term. Not really a very transparent company. Lots of players in the system.
