Pros

The people are genuinely nice to work with and those few who don't leave as quick as they join are some of the most talented and resilient people I've worked with

Cons

- Turnover has been a huge problem for Sage's accountants division over the years, hopefully the below will go a way in explaining the reasons but since joining, teams have been replaced many times. This is also reflected at director level with there recently being 3/4 different directors in the same number of years. - More recently micro-management has been rife within the division. If you do join, expect to be treated as an entry level sales person by people who know nothing about the products you sell. - Under the current leadership nepotism is a big issue. I don't need to explain that this is a bad thing and there are some great examples of people being handed a sale on a silver platter without them even knowing what the product actually does. - Targets are baseless and if there is a methodology behind them, it hasn't been shared with anyone on the sales floor. It's a hard pill to swallow being told you have to earn the company 50% more than last year whilst having half of the products Sage sell being taken away from your arsenal. Not only is the OTE completely unrealistic, you don't even know what your target will be in any given month until half way through it, - Over the past month sales staff have had commission removed in retrospect of them making a sale, despite recorded evidence that they made the sale. In all my years I have never seen or heard of this happening unless the sales person did something extremely dodgy.

Pros

The people are friendly and are very good at keeping each other's spirits up. The company has the potential to reach and then exceed there middle of the road aspirations but it needs to stop the decline in quality of leadership first

Cons

There is a lot of moaning on here about moving back to the office but I think that this us just a cover for all the other things that make up a poor working environment. No desks, car parking, poor amenities, terrible wifi, lifts not working, at least the new offices show that you can polish a turd and call it an ice cream
