Pros

The customers and how we help them and field employees

Cons

The Enterprise Sales Leadership crew is an old boys club that’s full of favoritism, back stabbing, and incompetence/lacking of understanding. In June this leader came onto a call with reps and told us all that we were paid too much and our commissions were going down. The next day he tripled our quotas (in June 😂) and reduced our commission rates by 90 percent. This is the same guy who, when traveling with absorbent amount of his friends on the company dime - he’s too good to stay at a Hilton or Marriott. No he’ll stay at the $800 per night hotel across the street from everyone. Yet his enterprise reps who make $90k OTE (yes, base + commission) - they make way too much. Only sales advise I ever heard him give was “time kills all deals” - groundbreaking.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
