HSBC 'was' a pretty good gig

District sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

High turnover equated to loads of opportunity for newer sales people to move into management Solid benefits package Nice base salary and ability to earn substantial bonuses A large 'family' culture in most regions of the country

Cons

Management and mid-senior managers put in loads of hours and often heavy field travel. Hardcore politics in certain groups or regions. You are in or you are out. Same pay structure in all US markets despite great differences in cost of living. Generally meant lower quality hires in high cost markets.
