- Inconsistent support from team manager
I was told several times after starting out that my manager would only go along on what they referred to as "good" appointments. While I understand where they were coming from, it was also frustrating as a new employee to not receive the support I felt was needed especially in the beginning.
- Office politics
Office politics and gossip were common at my office and some of the more senior reps seemed to even take pride in being rude and unhelpful to new reps. I was even told by one "I don't even get to know new reps until they've made it six months." Not a supportive culture in my office by any means.
- Favoritism
I was hired at the same time as another rep. During our time there, our manager accompanied this new rep on nearly 3x the number of appointments per capita than with me. This new rep was also given a much more lucrative, urban business district than I was.
