Sales is looked down upon from the Senior management to the guys on back of the trucks. Sales people don't actually sell anything at Veolia. They do nothing but collect money, handle operational issues like damaged property, handle billing problems, and any other petty issues that arise in a given day which is everyday all the time. All the while salespeople are benchmarked at ridiculous sales goals and quotas, most sales people spend their time making up fake entries in Salesforce.com, so they won't get fired, instead of actually getting out and selling. Veolia is ran by ex BFI, Allied, and waste management managers and executives that still think they work at their old jobs. Completely dillusional, do not listen and do not care. Same thing with the billing department and operations. They push off as much responsibility as they can on sales. The turnover for this company will go throught the roof in the next year, and they know it, or don't care. This company does not promote sales people. They will put an operations person in before sales. Being that this company is for sale, things will only get worse, unless another trash company buys it and fires all of the management and executives. The worst part is the commission plan for sales reps. It changes from month to month, they do whatever they can to find a way to not pay you for what you sold. Waste management and allied reps make a considerable amount more than sales reps at Veolia. Don't plan on making big bucks here.
