Pros
- Decent pay - Lots of extra activities after work - Good work life balance (There’s not a lot of work)
Cons
- Very weak onboarding: They said to me on my first day: either swim or sink. What’s that supposed to mean? The amount of forced learning is absurd. I spend almost 3 weeks of continuous screentime on learning. None of which I could apply to my day to day activities. Useless outside training: Why send me to Dublin for training on printers, meanwhile I sell something completely different? Locked down marketing budgets: There’s no lead generation. How am I supposed to get greenfield accounts with no leads? Hello?? There’s also no cold calling and most “sales” have been farming the same accounts for literally decades. Nothing to do with my time: There were some very discerning moments where I had nothing to do with my time. No assigned accounts and even less collaboration with my colleagues. What’s that about? Out of the 6 external sales hires, 5 were fired after only 3 months. You’re not doing something right! The forced return to the office is a joke. There are people who I haven’t seen for over 6 months. This is just a kneejerk reaction to Dell and other tech firms. My contract explicitly says “remote”
