Really not much good to say. The title “district manager” is very misleading as it is just a name to sell the job. You are far from managing anything. You will spend all day, every day, cold calling ADP clients who have already had 10 reps reach out and try to sell them the same product over the past year. Favoritism is huge and if you are not performing well you’ll be a black sheep. You are only as valuable as the amount of sales you make, period. You will likely be given a mentor early on which is really just a feeder system to give tenured reps warm leads and then split commission. Lack of privacy in office. People everywhere, can hardly hear yourself think let alone speak to clients. Lack of digital privacy as well as all of your activity is tracked. You will be pushed to make more calls, more emails and do anything to get the sale. There is very little room for promotion or upward mobility besides becoming a sales “executive” which are just those who have stuck it out for several years and performed well and now have a team of reps. The unfortunate reality is many of these small business owners do not know what they’re purchasing and most do not want to speak to you nor care about labor law posters or state mandates in their handbook. Shady tactics often used by scaring them with risk of an “audit”.
