Vantaggi
Corporate seems to be a wonderful place to work - but the local offices don't quite uphold the same culture in their locations.
Svantaggi
I can only speak for the location I worked in, but the company truly does not care about you as a person, only you as a worker that makes them money. If you are not making them the amount of money they'd like to see, they'll kick you to the curb without warning. I've seen it happen to plenty of amazing coworkers simply because they did not meet their sales goal. In addition, there is no collaboration between teams unless there is an incentive to do so. People from other divisions will only offer their help if they are able to get a piece of the cut. No one actually has a good heart and just wants to help you. Management is favored above all other employees, and are constantly getting perks that regular employees don't get. Management also does not invest in developing and growing their employees. Instead of coaching and teaching employees that are struggling, they focus on their own sales goals and let their team fail. The culture is supposed to foster an environment of development and support, but it certainly does not. Lastly, there is not much room for upward growth. If you are a salesperson, you are going to be a salesperson for a long time before an opportunity opens up. And even then, your chances are slim because everyone will be going for the same position. And they will only consider people with a good sales record, regardless if those people even have the ability to manage people. It's all about money to them.
