Good industry exposure and clear targets, but limited flexibility and management experience may vary
Pros
- Clear KPI structure, with the opportunity to be well rewarded if targets are achieved. - Good opportunity to understand the industry and learn about cutting-edge technologies. - Valuable experience in managing and working with distribution customers. - Relatively flat management structure, with opportunities to share opinions and ideas.
Cons
- May not be ideal for those who prefer limited business travel or do not enjoy long-distance driving. - No hybrid working option. - A significant part of the KPI depends on the performance of distribution customers, which can have a considerable impact on personal results. - Additional working hours may sometimes be required without extra pay. - Some mid-level managers can be challenging to work with. While they may be strong sales managers with strong sales skills, their people-management style may not suit everyone and can sometimes affect the working atmosphere.
