Cons: Sales leadership at country and region levels have low caliber, and attracts or retains similar. Excellence is not nurtured. Sales leaders have governance challenges. They cut corners to get deals. Even hiring customer recommended candidates for good salaries but without requisite workload. Top management and HR are either complicit or clueless. Sales leaders replace key positions with cronies, creating difficult working conditions for good rightful people, so they leave. They call the shots as company supports anything for sales. Only those that comply survive as they are told that they will be fired by sales otherwise, even if their performance was outstanding. Many sales leaders do not last even an year as there are compliance audits due to complaints, but the damage is done due to short termism. Sometimes customers also get caught in this. There is a lot of disguised mis-hiring at senior and top level. It is now only a useful work environment for a certain kind of people. Others that support sales should avoid working here.
