Pros

Wide array of business lines and products to sell. However, far to many - no focus - no direction...

Cons

* No Direction from management * Very old school company and outdated internally * CRM tool very outdated and doesn't work at all for their many business lines * I still have no idea what products I was supposed to be selling, how, when, or how * Was told to bring in business and book meetings which I did... still got fired * No direction on what kind of business to bring in * Zero reviews with management or best of practices or how to improve * Huge barrier when selling and growing large accounts - blocked from corporate * Do not bring in your legacy accounts or contacts to this company * I have significant experience was sold to to join their company - big mistake * Directly competing other sales people in the business * Directly in competition with the large network providers (Telus in GBS's case) * No strategic direction * No focus at all in the company * Very strange micro managing issues going on and noticed * No targets or bench marks set, given, or communicated * Very overloaded management with lack of focus and activities * Did not feel like a valued employee * Requests of management were overlooked and or not communicated * Teams did not communicate properly internally or at all * Keep looking elsewhere for employment opportunities even if given an offer $ * Was lied to about my starting offer which I had to renegotiate and it was still low

Pros

Nice team, good offices, flexible hours. Great for work and life balance. Car allowance is great - cell phone plan is good if you like older devices and hardware

Cons

this company has no direction, they don't trust employees and that lack of trust precludes effective teamwork. Offices are closing all the time.

Pros

Close knit group of people who make working there an enjoyable experience. There is a generally positive atmosphere, brand new office and ownership and management takes a deep interest in every employee's happiness.

Cons

While this was a sales position, the sales support system and sales operations lacked in its ability to provide guidance, templates and structure to the sales process. The inbound and outbound sales channels were clustered and often contradictory to one another while competing for sales and results despite reporting to the same management team.
