Lied to in interview, Micromanagement, too many conference calls, poor business model, Messed up CRM, hostile work environment, when you make above quota you frequently are not paid for the difference (others have said the same things to me so I am not the only one who feels this way).
The job paid well, and that is where the love story stops. The company is going down the tubes. Management is awful and the pipeline is consistently failing. Upper management doesn't know how to motivate or keep the right employees, and lower management has turned to extreme micromanaging to cope with the stress of territory failure. Not a happy place to work and I'll take a pay cut to get out of the company so that I can work for a place that values their employees.
I find that in all of the orgs that I've worked in over 20 years, my current role has me reporting to a boss that's slow to adopt change/new ideas and I'm surrounded by his favorites.
Love the job just wished the territory was smaller. Cover multi states. Company is slow to release budgets. Base should be higher than $90K plus bonus of $28K. Our competitors starting base pay is $125K plus bonus and smaller territories. It can be hard on you and families.
Production facility at RTP is a 3 ring circus. In 1 ring is management using a Ouija board to run their teams and day to day operations while getting Pat on the back by their favorites. In ring 2 is a large portion of employees with "senior" in their title acting like they know better than everyone else. In ring 3 is a handful of people like me trying to do their job and navigating the politics, while watching a once great company burn.
Used to love it, but the company doesn't pay even when your growing triple digits and to put the icing on the cake, the COO decides putting GPS trackers in the cars is a good idea. He doesn't know this aspect of veterinary medicine, so instead of telling the board the challenges in the US, he decides it's because the reps aren't working. You just told your entire team you don't trust them. With 17 reps, if management doesn't know who's working and not working, it isn't the reps who are the problem, it's management. Some people should not be in leadership roles because they do not know how to lead. Sad because the product is great -- people will leave now. Good job managment!
I finally work with great, talented people and there's a big sense of teamwork here. Managers also take notice and time to compliment workers on tasks well done.
