The role was not what the recruiter described
Pros: The induction training is fantastic and the benefits are decent
Cons: Where to start?! The Inside sales position is basically an admin role whereby you execute the processes required in the sales cycle for the field rep you are aligned to, who does the actual "selling".
The amount of red tape and processes to go through are extremely time consuming to say the least.
Management are promoted based on results, as opposed to relevant skills meaning those lucky enough to get a lucrative territory will prosper, even if they don't have the required skills. In my experience the result of this is some of the worst management I have ever experienced.
