Hire proper people?

Pros

In sales, both are given to you. You have people around you who will collaborate and try to make you better. Good place to learn how business is done efficiently. I'd assume every business has its struggles; There are some solid and other less solid systems in place. Good training/onboarding.

Cons

Some strange hiring choices. Not commonly, but sometimes.

Pros

Cons

In the interest of just moving on, I’m not going to get into the nitty gritty; suffice to say, I felt many employees were under paid, under appreciated, over worked, and fed a meaningless corporate message I wasn’t going to post a review until a friend of mine indicated he was interested in starting there... As an ex employee who feels taken advantage of by the company, I’d be doing him and any future potential hires...

Advice to Management

Don’t allow the company to take credit, nor rest on the merits of individuals who go above and beyond. There are some awesome folk, who won’t get their due because the company overlooks the efforts put into their contributions while, in the same breath, taking credit for those same contributions.

Pros

Sales Academy , Training, Learning is great since you deal with so many vendors

Cons

Low base pay, lack of trust from management, employee turnover is unbelievable, Micromanaged sales environment

Advice to Management

Invest and trust in your employees. See them more than revenue generators.

Pros

Company culture, dog-friendly environment, people are usually nice to work with, benefits are good for full-time employees

Cons

So many changes on the marketing team in such a short period that decreased the team morale. People who have worked at the company for 3, 5 and even 10 years have left for another role elsewhere (essentially because of a higher pay). That leads the current team to have more work to do since the backfills take months to happen, if they ever do. Strategy from upper management changes constantly so there is no consistency....

Advice to Management

Stop micromanaging. Be more consistent in your strategy and avoid changing the focus so many times. Concentrate on what's important and not the operational tasks that take up most of the employees' time. Encourage an honest and open feedback from your team before they leave to take another job outside the company.
