Bad Management - Recensione dipendente - Sales Representative presso LearnPad

There is a great deal of opportunity in this company for those with ambition, team work, and the patience and understanding that a start up company will have it's ups and downs. The current leadership that is in the building on a day to day basis has high expectations for their teams, but also a great ability to draw out the strengths of each team member and help them grow. There have been some disgruntled ex employees that have expressed deep dissatisfaction, however, I must say since the changes have been made in the company, the culture is much more positive and professional. Those were much needed changes.

The greatest challenge is the pay scale. Many of the positions pay under industry standard; however, I'm hoping that with company growth and individual proven track records, all employees (not just sales) will be rewarded monetarily.

This product could possibly compete but other than that, there are no pros to this company at all. I am not disgruntled at all. I have another great job now.

The investors need to get involved and remove the CEO immediately! He is driving the business into the ground. This type of sale takes a sales cycle built on a relationship. The schools do not have readily available the funds to write checks for products within 15 days of a meeting. Many schools have to write grants for technology purchases. This takes time. However, the CEO has unrealistic and demanding goals that could never be reached within his deadline. He has fired Marketing and Sales directors for no reason, moved people around so quickly from day to day that it makes no sence, made Marketing or Sales Dir. write emails to sales people acting like it was from them, saying irrational things or demonstrating how incompetent his thought processes were. He has fired sales people or moved accounts to an in house account once a sale was made so as to not to have to pay commissions. There are so so so many things wrong with this man that he cant possibly be seriously running a company. Its not like a Steve Jobs situation where his madness made sence and his rudeness was tolerated due to his genius. Please understand that I say this with all sincerity, this man seriously might have a mental problem that should be handled by a Dr. before he loses everything.
