Pros
1950s Cladding sales environment and techniques No sensitive 360 degree feedback here Here sales is warfare: the CEO is at war with you,the customers and prospects You will know the company script Each day you will be drilled at his sadomasochistic whim - and yes there is something very latent going on. It can be quite amusing, just don't let him know it Here the company and the man are one - you must become invisible to survive. But he will pay you - that's the bargain
Cons
You will learn nothing but how to obfuscate You will learn to ignore every issue and crow the slightest sign of any sunshine The existing customers are trapped with a powerful but cumbersome product The worst thing is that the fool owner is actually probably excellent as a programmer He just would be the most incompetent CEO from a marketing, sales, PR perspective you could ever meet - if you ever met him and you never will - he may well be no more than a very rudimentary AI program which can simulate something approaching a human via the phone. And his cruel and petty Don't you dare shine - you need to attribute every victory to him The more fawning you are for his advise the longer you will survive Initiative is not something he likes
