Vantaggi
The sales department used to be a great place to work. The goals were managable and the people had a TON of fun, energy and excitment. The pay was really good as well.
Svantaggi
i wored as a sales rep for 9 years and loved about 7 of it, the last 2 years went down hill quickly. Telesales turned into a nightmare once the new managment of the sales department came in and cleaned house. They let go of ALOT really great people and just let them go out of nowhere. Then came the goals... oh wow! Goals went up to an astronomical amount, they were raised by 65% , let me repeat that... 65% without ANY better leads or way of "achieving your goal", they jsut raised them and said well.. it is what it is. Over 10 of the most serniored sales people (including myself) had been in sales over 7 years EACH and we all left becasue the pay was horrible for the amount of work they wanted us to do. there is NO life/work balance. the goals do not match up to the pay they are giving. when going on an interview, make sure to ask "how many seniored sales rep have left in the last 6 months", because its been more than 10 at this date.
