Good company but tough to break even in sales department - Sales Manager Scarpel Telecom Employee Review

No pros about this company at all!!!!!

**Cons** * Below-market salaries compared with similar roles. * Bonuses lacked transparency and, in my opinion, were not used as a genuine incentive. * Culture of fear rather than support and development. * Unrealistic commercial targets and expectations for new starters. * Insufficient onboarding time before employees were expected to deliver significant results. * High-pressure management style that negatively impacted morale. * Poor leadership from the Senior Leadership Team, in my opinion. * Limited investment in employee wellbeing and professional development. * Performance management felt punitive rather than constructive. * Lack of trust between leadership and employees. * Low staff morale and high turnover. * Decisions that, in my experience, prioritised short-term results over people. * As an HR professional, I found the workplace culture to be unsupportive and not aligned with best HR practices. * I would not recommend the company to professionals looking for a positive, collaborative, and well-led working environment.

Nice salary and an apparently firm revenue from Russia and CIS which makes the company looks stable, work-life balance is also good, intentions to get better are to be appreciated.

No onboarding, be creative finding your way. Micromanagement at its best, explain what you've been doing. Constantly. Lack of modern tech and refined processes, lots of manual work and tons of individual interpretation of rules. Irrealistic expectations towards employees from management as a result of overpromises towards investors (hiring, analytics, sales, account management... any field) which eventually turns into a blame game both horizontally and vertically as gaps stay present. As a result, communication is lagging between departments, long-time employees that are too comfy in their positions and got tired sharing information and know-how with the high turnover of new joiners and are less flexible to change overall prevent progress. The service lacks uniqueness and actual specialization and struggles to find its voice in the telco industry where it simply gets lost in the cacophony of all hundreds of other players of the market.
