Pros

Room to coach and develop team in your own leadership style. Clear communicaiton from senior management as to what numbers need to be hit.

Cons

No career development. Unclear specifically as to what is required to develop past Sales Manager. No clear development pathway for managers nor reps: criteria is gray and rather subjective. Too much focus on numbers and not on other drivers of the business, specifically skill sets, and rewards based on numbers only and not on how to more effectively sell. This is confusing as we are told to be better business people and are tracked for it, yet are measured only on sales numbers.

Pros

Stable company from a stock prospective. If you are on the heart side you are good. Watch out on all other verticals in this organization. It is all about the heart!

Cons

Focused solely on shareholder and maximizing profits quarterly. Decisions to RIFF thousands of employees due to poor upper management decisions in the first place. Long time employees released on group phone calls no regard for professionalism.

Pros

Good benefits and pretty secure job.

Cons

They use the fact that they are a large company to avoid having to pay employees what they are worth. The company continues to bring in millions of dollars in revenue but we only see a 1-3% raise in pay each year.
