They say this used to be a good company to work for. If it was it was long before I got here. I had a much better job than this turned out to be. Unfortunately I believed their lies. (the boss) obviously knows nothing about managing a sales force. (I don't think she even likes salespeople) Unfortunately the President of the company tells us she is "a great leader" as she runs the company into the ground.
The favoritism is insane. She will steal a deal from you and give it to one of her pets and make up a temporary "rule" so she can pretend that she is being 'fair'. All the managers, the boss and HR have been asked repeatedly for a written copy of the "rules" and the metrics in writing all to no avail. We are fired on the metrics and several months have passed and nothing has ever been given to us in writing. Nothing.
Oh, and lets talk about those metrics. Any experienced manager uses metrics to help them do their job.These idiots have no idea what a metric really is or how to use one. They will fire you if you don't "hit the metrics", and there are several. No one with even half a brain uses a metric to fire people. So we actually get fired on what she calls a metric that has never been given to us in writing.
They will tell you that you will have 3000 to 4000 leads.. such a joke. You will be lucky to have 600 or 700 leads. You can be fired in 8 days if you don't make a minimum of 75 calls a day. So do the math.
She actually stood up in front of everyone at the last meeting and said she didn't know what she was doing and that she would try things for a couple of months and if it didn't work she would try something else and hopefully in a few months she would figure out what might work. She also admitted that she knew she was hiring to many people for the size of the database before she hired them. So she knew she was messing with peoples lives in a very bad way and she did it anyway.
I realize I am rambling a bit but I really don't know how to get across to you how bad this really is. Keep looking. There is something better out there.
