Some roles may not be suitable for everyone because you are expected to be a self-starter and set your own course, which does not work for everyone. In addition, progression is more limited if you are not fully mobile
Advice to Management
Work on a continued focus on diversity, when our colleagues join the company with varied career experience, education, gender experience, etc. it makes the work environment more dynamic and leads to innovation and new idea generation

Pros
Our company embraces cross-functional movement, to give deserving people opportunities to learn all aspects of our business. I've been fortunate enough to work in 4 different functions and leverage learnings from each on a regular basis.
Cons
Despite a culture of informality in the workplace, we operate at a very high pace that can be very demanding (and exciting!!). Not everyone is willing and/or able to meet the expectations of the company.

Pros
You will learn a detailed and systematic approach to sales and distribution. Attending music and sports events which were sponsored. Fair compensation. Company car. Some stay and grow with the company for a long time.
Cons
Office culture was a bit toxic which stemmed from 1 leader. Senior sales staff felt undervalued and stressed at times. These issues led to relatively high turn over.
Advice to Management
Respect and value your sales team.

Pros
Good people who work hard.
Cons
Feeder system. Intended to squeeze everything out of you for limited compensation. Develops you into a top tier candidate for any organization.
