Pros

The incentive program is money, and we need money to eat. Getting money is a pro.

Cons

Of course you knew this was going to be big. I was there for more than a year. I watched sales reps that were VERY good be let go because they didn't "fit in" - and literally watched a "pretty" sales rep do jack and get promoted with less accolades or sales than 95% of the team that deserved the promotion. This is unfair, sexist and immoral. Encouragement was discouraged. I saw a lead set a realistic (but large) goal for a sales rep, and was told publicly that this was "unreachable and unrealistic" when the lead challenged that, defending the person on his team, he was BET... like with money that the person WOULDN'T HIT THE GOAL. This person betting against the employee? His direct supervisor. Also, that person hit the goal - and the lead was fired shortly thereafter with no notice. - because he challenged the public humiliation. Keep in mind this happened in front of like 8 of us. If you're attractive, you can butter up to the frat called upper management and get promoted unjustly... so if you're an attractive female, you'll do fine. This job is about how you act at work more than what you produce. If you did well in College frat houses and know who to cuzzy up with and when... you'll do fine. If you want to be a successful salesman... don't bother. Money's not that great, (even after you get promoted) and getting there is like selling your body on a street corner.... not worth the $10.

Pros

Many intelligent people, lots of employees who go out of their way to be helpful, great training team, some very skilled leaders.

Cons

Not many skilled leaders. CEO is arrogant, condescending, unaware, lacks vision, and should have left by now. His VP Minion had him believing he's the Corporate Savior, but this is his 4th time with the company and he hasn't really produced any results that can be validated other than being the source of multiple HR complaints. No accountability or time for employees to learn despite open access to training information and skilled trainers. Our team gets regular training because I coordinated it with the training team. Most other departments just ignore it then blame their problems on terrible training. From where I sit, the training team has it together better than most other teams in this organization. I'd work there in a second if they were allowed to hire! They have real leaders. So does Client Care. Leaders who care and coach. Not that coaching does you any good because the only place we're growing is in sales and that's killing the strong sellers by diluting their territories. Another stellar CEO-approved decision, of course.
