Cons: Where to start ..

- inexperienced front line managers with zero ability to add value to complex opportunities. Have made so many awful management hires

- upper management sits in the UK and manage by bullying and fear

- 2 people smashing their targets and everyone else on 0%

- give people 20 accounts but want people to have 100 interactions per week. People just make up the stuff to add to crm

- not a sales job, basically an old school marketing role

- all the good sales people have left, nobody ever comes back! 

- the atmosphere is toxic as the majority hate the place

- now bad for your CV

- so disconnected from what prospects and customers want

- management treat employees like school children, it is embarrassing

- going back to the 80s on approach to working. At the desk from 9 to 5.30pm, no working from home etc
