Pros

I worked as a Samsung Field Sales Manager (FSM) for 2020 Companies. The benefits came from the experience I received being an FSM in training, demoing and driving sales. The team I worked for was exceptional, and we learned from each other in styles and techniques.

Cons

The upper management was totally unprepared for what Samsung tasked them to do, and we in turn were unprepared. We were out in the field and had to improvise immensely, and faced unwarranted disciplinary action when we weren't trained properly. My personal district manager was unprofessional, and had somewhat of an antagonistic relationship with me. We were advised one thing on our monetary compensation, and got another. It was overall unfair to us in the field. The final nail in the coffin was when a lot of us were unceremoniously laid off, and either offered part time positions, or an adjustment pay that gave us a $500.00 lump sum in return for not going to work for a competitor for 18 months instead of a bonus that worked hard to get. This was very insulting to all of us that toiled in the field for a year.

Pros

The company culture is fantastic. They invest in your growth and ensure you have the tools needed to be successful for our clients. The main goal for everyone is to solve for yes whether it's for our clients or for our teams. Support teams truly support field teams and executives are invested in what we do but give us autonomy to execute in our own way.

Cons

Low pay for entry level staff creates a revolving door; while this is due to contractual obligations defined by clients we need to find a way to solve the issue to retain top tier talent and recruit quality candidates.

Pros

The growth of 2020 over the past few years has been extraordinary! We've had the opportunity to have some amazing team members join our team and bring in a diverse group of leaders. What hasn't changed through all the growth has been the culture. They have made this a better place to work. I've had more opportunities to develop my own career path with this growth. We've also experience a massive leap forward in our technology and infrastructure in the past few years with the new leadership in our IS/Analytics teams! It's simply amazing what these teams are bringing to the table each week. it's been an exciting time to be a part of the Sr. Leadership team and 2020 Companies.

Cons

Its hard to keep up! We all work directly in our client space and schedules. What has come with this growth is the lost opportunities to connect as a larger team of leaders to support and share ideas and best practices. It just gets to a point it becomes impossible to align so many calendars. Miss those days, but we have smaller, more client centered group teams that meet regularly. Just feels siloed.
