Inside Sales Dublin - AVOID, AVOID, AVOID
Pros
Startup environment A lot of space for creativity Possibility to participate in all aspects of the business, make recommendations and influence Good brand on your CV Good training Nice office A lot of flexibility, although not for everyone Okay salary and good quarterly bonus
Cons
- No structure, processes, policies and procedures - Unprofessional, negative and bullying management behavior - Hostile working environment and negative culture - No KPIs - No incentives - No culture for recognition - No promised non-contractual benefits - Job spec and job description during the interview do not match the reality - No coaching and learning provided - Not central location and poor transport facilities - Complete disorder in the company on a global level as no one knows who is responsible for what and no one wants to take any responsibility but pointing fingers, which is not acceptable for such a global reputable company like BA - Poor career growth opportunities - Extremely complicated recruitment process taking 4-8 weeks - Prepare that no decisions are made in Dublin. You will always need HQ authorization and approval - 90% verbal and phone communication which takes a lot of your calendar time, most of the time for nothing. Everyone tries to avoid emails saying that "email is my enemy", so make sure to take notes of who said what and when as you will need it one day, unless you have a fantastic memory. - Do not trust anyone. Who is your friend today will turn into your enemy tomorrow. Stay professional but do not trust anyone in this company, they are all fake. - A lot of sales staff has been and is being made redundant after 20 years of service, so there is a lot of negativity around. Do not waste your careers by making this move. You will not learn anything but just waste your time, health and spoil your CV.
