Outside sales - stay away - no direction in company & very poor management
Pros
Wide array of business lines and products to sell. However, far to many - no focus - no direction...
Cons
* No Direction from management * Very old school company and outdated internally * CRM tool very outdated and doesn't work at all for their many business lines * I still have no idea what products I was supposed to be selling, how, when, or how * Was told to bring in business and book meetings which I did... still got fired * No direction on what kind of business to bring in * Zero reviews with management or best of practices or how to improve * Huge barrier when selling and growing large accounts - blocked from corporate * Do not bring in your legacy accounts or contacts to this company * I have significant experience was sold to to join their company - big mistake * Directly competing other sales people in the business * Directly in competition with the large network providers (Telus in GBS's case) * No strategic direction * No focus at all in the company * Very strange micro managing issues going on and noticed * No targets or bench marks set, given, or communicated * Very overloaded management with lack of focus and activities * Did not feel like a valued employee * Requests of management were overlooked and or not communicated * Teams did not communicate properly internally or at all * Keep looking elsewhere for employment opportunities even if given an offer $ * Was lied to about my starting offer which I had to renegotiate and it was still low
