Pros
It’s a great starter job out of college.
Cons
Park place was fun originally. The training program was great, but once I was promoted, there was not a day I wasn’t stressed. I am a high performer and a top rep but sales in general is treated like a middle school. Every second of every day you are watched. They record your phone calls, your conference calls, look at your emails, the big brother feeling is real. That isn’t even the worst part. They always say they are a “people first” company but that is far from the case. Our commissions have been messed up since July of last year. Many of us are owed thousands of dollars but can’t do anything about it. They’ve implemented a Small medium business team and have talked away over 300-500 accounts from each rep. Now we are merging with a large competitor and they are only taking more accounts from us and promoting them when they haven’t even earned their stripes…. The best part is, your quota still raises 20% each year! They expect you to do more with less and then will tell you that you aren’t performing because your “activity is low”. The only way Park Place is a good company is if you stroke managements ego and get under their wing. I’ve seen so many underqualified people get promoted over overly qualified people because of friendships…. They also don’t factor in the difference between territories and those with horrible territories are set up for failure. Lastly…. You can make good money if you grind from a commission perspective but the salary is a joke. There haven’t been raises in YEARS… plus they find ways to get you to make less in commission every year by revising the commission plan. There is no opportunity for growth other than a title change. You don’t get added responsibility or a higher pay…
