Advice to Senior Management

Implement new ideas to help recruit and retain good salespeople to cut down on some of the turnover. Maybe a more aggressive salary/commission structure?

Pros

My co-workers were very kind and eager to help me get started.

Cons

I did not work there very long but I can say that the company is very unorganized and it shows. They do not know a quality employee when they see one and they are more concerned with inner office politics than they are with treating their employees with the dignity and respect they deserve. While working as a Sales Rep for the company I worked diligently to generate new business and after closing a very size-able account I was forced to split my commission as well as my quota attainment with another employee in a completely different department who had no involvement with selling the account. Management is very ego driven and because of this they would rather lose a quality employee than admit that their practices may in fact be flawed. I left shortly after and would never go back.

Pros

Had good insurance, flexible time off, co-workers were ok. open communication from upper management

Cons

New opportunities are virtually non existent ever for those with graduate degrees. Employees do not feel appreciated.

Advice to Senior Management

wake up!

Pros

The benefits are excellent (vacation/sick days, health ins, etc.) compared to most other employers these days. The work environment is clean and you are treated reasonably well. Management is very knowledgeable and ready to help when needed.

Cons

The pay. They work on a base or commission, greater of the two plan with a declining draw. The base is 24K and believe me, after 6 months, you will only be getting the base. Not because you didn't sell anything but because their commission model is flawed and they have admitted it in the past but never made any attempts to fix it. Your commissions end up equaling something like (sorry I can't remember the exact amount) .03% of each penny that your customer spends. That's right, you don't get squat for selling their fuel cards, you only get paid on how much the end user actually USES it! Then they cut that in half after your first year. Your draw starts dropping in huge increments (like, $150 per pay period) and there is no way to catch up to it in sales.

Advice to Senior Management

First of all, be up-front and honest in the initial interview. Let prospective employees know that this is, basically, a 25K per year job. Quit with the, "Our top earners make $$$$$!" when you know good and well that those days are over and most of those "top earners" are long gone because their commissions tanked too.
Second, open the checkbook and readjust your commission structure. Get competetive!
