Svantaggi
I worked in the Sales organization, and unfortunately my experience was extremely disappointing. The biggest issue is that career progression does not appear to be based primarily on performance, results, or professional merit. Instead, there is a strong perception that personal relationships with management carry far more weight. If you are not part of the inner circle, constantly socializing with leadership, or attending after-work gatherings and drinking events, your opportunities for growth seem very limited. The environment often feels driven more by popularity than professionalism. Rather than recognizing objective performance, there is a culture where being socially connected appears to matter more than delivering consistent business results. Another major concern is the lack of fairness in how opportunities and accounts are managed. Decisions that directly impact employees' commissions and earnings can feel inconsistent, with certain individuals seemingly receiving preferential treatment. It was incredibly frustrating to see decisions that, in my experience, negatively affected my earnings while appearing to benefit people with closer relationships to leadership. There is also very little protection for employees in junior or lower-level roles. Challenging decisions or raising concerns can feel risky, as there are few mechanisms that inspire confidence that concerns will be handled impartially. My experience with Human Resources was equally discouraging. When I raised concerns about disrespectful treatment and feeling belittled, I did not feel that my complaints were taken seriously. The conversations often ended with generic assurances such as, "We'll make sure it doesn't happen again," but I saw little meaningful follow-up or accountability. Instead of feeling supported, I left feeling that my time had been wasted and that the underlying issues remained unresolved. One of the most difficult aspects of my experience was the communication style. At times, concerns were minimized or dismissed, leaving employees questioning their own judgment instead of feeling genuinely heard and supported. This creates an unhealthy work environment where people hesitate to speak openly. The pressure within the Sales department is extremely high. Ambitious targets are expected, which is understandable in sales, but the expectations often fail to reflect the realities of different markets. Comparing regions with completely different economic conditions, customer behaviors, levels of maturity, and available opportunities leads to unrealistic performance expectations and unnecessary stress. Over time, this creates a culture of constant pressure, anxiety, and burnout rather than one focused on sustainable performance and employee development. Infor has talented people and strong products, but in my experience the Sales organization would benefit significantly from: * Merit-based promotions and career development. * Greater transparency in territory, account, and commission decisions. * Stronger policies that genuinely protect employees regardless of seniority. * An HR function that investigates complaints thoroughly and follows up with meaningful action rather than generic reassurance. * Leadership focused on professionalism rather than internal politics. * More realistic performance expectations that recognize the differences between markets. * A healthier culture where employees feel safe raising concerns without fear of being dismissed. I genuinely hope the company addresses these issues because they have a significant impact on employee well-being, motivation, trust, and employee retention.
