NCR – “Best Sales School to Kick-Off your Career”

Pros

- A true Sales School
 - NCR Sales are very very well perceived in the market from other employers; at least what i can tell from approaches I had from other big names
 - A very fast acceleration in the first 5 years in your sales career
- Learn how to be a consultant selling rather than a feature / function brochure reader

Cons

- Dead mid-level role, from extreme growth and development acceleration in the first period to a dead routine for years that can go up to a decade till you past another threshold of management. Other words very few steps in the ladder.

- Corporate and brand visibility in IT industry is dissolving; while being well recognized in the industries served only like Banking, Retail and few other territories.

- Huge gap between Sales to non-Sales role; in terms of volume, investment, education & training, development and even hiring criteria is very low calibers hat accept incompetitive salaries. Bottom line it's either sell at NCR or don't consider any other positions; at least outside of the US

- And finally HR Sucks; maintaining and not developing.

Advice to Senior Management

- The Egg or the Chicken; when it comes to new industries that NCR hopes to conquer. It will never work like this; waiting for business to start investing.

- NCR is relatively large corporate; conquering new industries requires better investment in the field not only investing in the acquisitions and product management; which is not far from NCR's capabilities. Again specially in our markets where employee costs are relatively incomparable to the US, Western Europe and developing countries.
