Dell Canada Reviews

Pros

People have a lot of autonomy in their work, and the ability to make decisions and choices. There's flexible work schedules, the potential to work from home, so alot of work is done with people from other regions. Lots of people who know what they are doing - and teams work together to achieve larger objectives.

Cons

There's flexibility, but there's the opportunity to work all the time. Many people handle a large workload, and it's a fast paced environment. You can work 24/7 and still never be done...they're a really lean machine.

Advice to Senior Management

Great Environment

Pros

The money was good. Over all the compensation for the role was great. The onboarding was prettty good too however

Cons

Management did not let employees get a chance to grow in their roles. They were too quick to say you were doing a bad job even though you were not.

Advice to Senior Management

If you decide to give employees the ability to run their territory as their territory then let them. To much drama

Pros

Good people to work with, effort made by management to create and maintain work/life balance, opportunity to learn is present.

Incompetent management, poor communication by management to direct reports, poor compensation, low morale, frustrating to get cooperation from other departments required to do job.

Pros

Dell offered good benefit and paid very well. They sell great products and services and Dell trade their staff fairly.

Cons

a lot of pressure working at dell, the training is pool. limit opportunity to move up unless you have good network..

Pros

Very transactional for a sales organization, if you don't learn how to manage your time and your clients you will fail. If you learn this, you will do very well. Excellent support within the organization to get help and information, though not always timely. Excellent support for emergency situations.

Cons

Horrible Work/Life balance. You will work long hours and weekends and evenings in this role. If you need emergency time off, you still need to hit your sales targets.

Advice to Senior Management

None, it won't make a difference. This is a very top-down organization.

Large company, sense of invisibility at times
