Truly Shocking Management Beware !!!! Think twice before accepting any sales roles.
Pros
Good people in the main. Training pretty good. Office environments Ok . Products fundamentally very good with reasonably good underwriting .
Cons
I worked in sales , management were truly shocking mostly being failed ex sales people with no people skills , this was certainly true of the midlands , not sure about other regions. Commercial management were uncommunicative , made knee -jerk reaction decisions and sometimes would make announcements to the whole company then retract them .The weekly reports were in 3 different formats to three different people, but all showing the same info . You needed at least one day a week just to complete management info. When I worked there my nearest territory was 2 hours away , with the furthest being 5 hours away , so driving at least 5,000 miles a month. I can honestly say it was the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. Although I don't regret working there it made me very appreciative of what I do now. Very high turnover of staff in the sales roles which says it all. Salary's are not particularly good and are below market average. Commission ok but on a sliding scale so hits you hard if you have a bad month.
