Advice to Senior Management

Kimberly-Clark Healthcare was a great place to work while I was there, and I still hear good things. The benefits were good and I liked the people I worked with.

Pros

benefits, high salary, car, phone

Cons

Frequent reorganization with little regard for salesforce. Quotas are arbitrarily set with very few people on a percentage terms meeting them. The historical record is pathetic with the past few years it being less than 20% meeting quota and alwasy the salesforce is blamed. Add to that a constant cost cutting environment which means tons of backorders which you then need to spend more time managing. Also frequent quality issues which lead to loss of business . . .

The worst is the lack of respect for the sales rep function and it's obvious in how you are treated. The micro management gets worse each quarter.
