Word is starting to spread about their non-competitive base salary 70-75K and comp plans that are equal to entry level positions in the diagnostic space. You're told the job brings you 200k with uncapped commissions but as soon as you get a taste of the MBO's that deduct from your pay and the quarterly compensation you quickly realize $200k, even $150k is a pipe dream for most since you're expect to grow new and existing territories at the same 20%-25% per quarter in this market.
Under Christ Smith's leadership they continue to chase out all the good talent and get cozy with those they feel will be servants to their agenda and agree with the poor leadership, not question them and ultimately kiss their a$$es.
The last two management promotions as well as the director of sales took no increase in salary upon agreeing to the promotion. Stupid as that sounds that is the only way you move up at the company. But, this is only for the sales team. Every other department in the organization promotes from within and provides adequate bumps in compensation. Bako has more VPs than qualified sales reps. Now that these 3 took promotions without salary increases Chris Smith feels this is just fine with doing it to everyone else.
But, if Chris feels you're a qualified a$$ kisser he will do anything to compensate you. One of the recent sales reps who left were offered a $100k base salary to stay. This should upset the recently promoted sales manager who is making around 75K base. Another rep in the east hasn't hit quota all year, but since they feel this person is very qualified they have given this rep $5k - $10k each quarter so the rep wouldn't leave and yet there are other reps in the US busting their a$$es and yet barely will make $2k-$5k with no additional relief because Chris Smith thinks 90% of his sales team is trash.
