Sales Management is ONLY about the money, NOT the families!
Sales Management is ONLY about the money, NOT about management!
Management in general at this location will allow drama queens and employees with high school behavior first seat to run the show, which is absolutely intolerable working conditions considering the field of work that we are in and the job that we do every day!! Intolerable and not acceptable at all!!
Let's all grow up ...shall we?!? (July, 2011)

Advice to Senior Management

Allow your employees to do their jobs! Stop micro management and have trust that your staff do their very best and above every day ... because they do!! And please stop giving credit to the Jr Advisors in this neck of the woods, who a little too often make their sales based on pushy and unethical behavior!! They are a disgrace to the company!! And to your other employees, who work so hard every day with grace and dignity!! A disgrace!!

Pros

- Positive sales experience
- Great commission rates

Cons

- Soul-less coworkers
- Poor work:life balance
- Terrible subject matter to make aggressive sale

Advice to Senior Management

Be more compassionate about what your sales people are selling. Convincing someone to purchase their own funeral or their loved ones is a touchy subject and it rarely happens in one appointment. The motto is "Protecting Families" when in actuality the families need to be protected from overbearing sales managers pushing their sales teams into becoming aggressive and immoral with families.

Pros

The industry is alot of fun & Dignitys multiple loc's help alot.

Cons

Where do I begin? The upper level managment are below average sales people & managers but because they rub the right shoulders they move up over super star proformers. They throw thier accolades around like you can't just look on the company web site & see they've never done anything period, talk about an insult throwing around fake accomplishments as if everybody is so dumb they'll just believe it. Crazy thing is they wait until you break a company record or do something amazing before local managment gets scared that you're making them look bad & then see ya...Pretty sad that headquarters continues to let this craziness happen but you reap what you sew. If you're looking for great training & career goo somewhere else because if you're not seen as a "somebody" right away they will let you starve. My people where always successful but that wasnt good enough, it was always hire hire hire. Pay cuts, changing successful things in place & anything else that whould make no sence. Trust me stay away there are way to many other ways to make money.

Advice to Senior Management

Find some talent, train, grow some balls, look in the mirror, do something, accomplish anything, quote real life & put your dumb make believe books down, think for yourself for a change & quit repeating something you've heard, sell something before you get promoted, smile once in awhile, teach people how to be great instead of setting them up for failure, go workout, quit studdering, speak from expierence & not from a tall tail you heard, get an award for something you've done personally & last but not least stop being so scared of people that are better than you, sit back shut up & collect your check it'll make you alot more money god knows you don't have any talent.
