Pros
Good Travel Some Collegues Were Cool Going out at Sales Conferences was fun
Cons
Everything. 1. Hired as a sales person but had no time to do any sales all positions are essentially admin positions. 2. The hours are ridiculous and should be illegal sometimes forced into working until 8pm at night and if you didn't you weren't commited enough to you work 3. Wasn't told about the Draw until after I had been working quite a while. It's essentially a system whereby you pay back your salary before you make any commission. So if you make 8 % comm on every sale and your basic is € 40k per annum you have to make over € 500k in sales before you get any commission. Needless to say thats a huge number most people don't achieve so make sure you're happy with the basic. 4. Forced travel and unnecessarily long and tiring training. I had to live for weeks in different countries training with often unprepared people for excessively long periods with no breaks. Ended up taking 8 panadols a day just make it through. 5. LETTERING ! They wont explain this to you until after your hired but you have to stuff envelopes - first you have to find people to mail up to 1000 a week so you search and find these people then you have to find their addresses and input into a data system. then every week you have to print lettrers and envelopes and stuff them and post them. Completely absurd 6. EOD !!! End of Days Every day you have to send an e-mail to EVERYONE i the company telling them what you did that was meaningful and they have to be detailed 7. Ridiculously confusing systems. For every job you create you have to send all these complicated mails with their own language TP 500 wc 1300 12/03/2011 8am tyh llj 20000 in the heading and if you get one thing wrong your in trouble. this has to be reiterated in your mail and in numerous other places. 8. Unfair management - I overheard managers been told to keep new staff past 7pm to teach them a lesson ?!?! All in all they work their staff to the bone and take complete advantage. They lie and are underhanded and know a number of staff that had to seek psychiatric assistance after leaving due to stress, anxiety and panic attacks.
