Pros
Good commission structure as you progress, you do get what you put in. Get past your first and second year and you can earn good money. Some really good sales people to learn from. Sociable office, drinks and football.
Cons
Severely out dated sales environment/culture, the focus is on call volumes, times and noise. Kept to strict KPIs or you will be shown the door. Don’t forget to be on your feet when dialling, no chairs allowed! Essentially an 8 to 5 high paying call centre. Middle management is appalling with one or two exceptions. Managers are promoted purely on results rather than their ability to lead and train their teams to success. As a result, micromanagement is part of daily life here, especially for the more junior members of staff. Very rigid day structure, much like that of a school timetable, try not to take too long in the toilet or you will get an earful! Keep the share price going up at all costs is not really a mission employees will buy into, unless of course you’re a director with shares... CRM is an excel workbook you make yourself. You do not work from salesforce. Unorganised and repetitive training, you must be solely responsible for your own development if you want to be successful. So don’t not come here if you expect high quality training. Pitch the same territory as your colleagues especially in healthcare. Zero benefits. Many better companies and roles on the market especially in new business sales that will value you above and beyond this place. You will be given a nice casual sales pitch in your interview, promising you world class training, opportunity to travel and to be part of accompany going in and amazing direction etc. Be smart and see through the bs!
