Salesforce reviews

In reading some recent reviews, it's good to see the "Ohana" phrase is being called out for what it is, which is a marketing stunt. You are not family when you work at this company (or any company for that matter). You are assigned an employee number, and that is who you are. One keyboard stroke will put you in the 10% layoff column. Regardless of your skills, you need an account that is primed to spend money to expand their SFDC footprint. Reasons could include having just acquired another company (more SF licenses), or having recently hired a former SF exec (who will be your champion). Otherwise, if you don't have one, you will have a handful of accounts that have been pestered to let us "advise" them on how to solve their problems for the past several years. These customers understand the game, and avoid you like the plague. If you're in that unlucky category, your job will not be fun (nor will your commission checks). You then have to constantly get "scrappy," and ultimately do unnatural things to try and get any ACV on the board. You will also be viewed as an unproductive seller, and ultimately get managed out. To summarize, you need to have luck on your side (or be handed good accounts by your boss). Otherwise, you're constantly on the defense, and it's all your fault.

Recruiters negotiated overtime as part of salary. Overtime is expected but not “allowed”/paid. Bonuses are often wrong and clawbacks happen. Recruiter told me I’d take a step down to take two steps up, only to learn skipping a level is not allowed. My manager forces me to increase my commit and then tells me I’m not performing when I don’t meet it. Lots of public shaming. Not trusted to work remotely. No breaks or lunch times. If I don’t reply to slack immediately I’m not I’m not performing. I work from 7am to 8-10pm daily and I’m still told it’s not enough despite having the most activity. I’ve worked for 30 years and never have had such a difficult supervisor. I truly feel like they are systematically firing me or forcing me to quit simply because they don’t like me. 3 of 6 team members have left because of this manager. There needs to be more shadowing and coaching of new managers.
