Pros

Great manager. Great people in the team.

Cons

Apart from a small RA, there are no other real benefits offered. As a BU/Brand Manager we are tasked with driving business and bringing in sales but then lose 25% of your commission when the Accounts Receivable team don't collect payment of those sales after 90 days. As brand, you now have to collect debt aswell. Annual increases are dismal, irrespective of how the brand has done throughout the year. Brand teams are capped in their commission earnings so there is no real incentive to overachieve. Certain people in the organisation are protected by management and can do nothing that will get them fired. There is little to no collaboration between various business units which limits the company ability to grow. (Datacenter division will not work with Cloud or Cybersecurity division to drive mutually beneficial strategies) Regardless of how much sales enablement is done with the sales teams, they still have no idea how to sell/position products unless it's a laptop, and even then, they don't do it properly. They are basically glorified order takers.
