As someone who was with the company for some time, you were on board through massive growth, exciting times and of course, the challenges that both of these can create. I'm disappointed that after all the time you spent here you left with a negative view of your experience. Best of luck in your new chapter. -VP, Recruiting
In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.
