All of the people that I speak with (across regions) feel this way too. Why do the a** kissers outnumber the people who can think and work independently? Oh. Right. Because WK loves a good smooch, and wants people to be managed with intimidation instead of leadership. This never works. He's just an old dog who can't learn new tricks. The next time your manager pulls this crap, call him/her out on it. If everyone did, they would have to manage more effectively...or fire 90% of their sales division.

i have been waiting and hoping they's get rid of him but no such luck. I never saw such awful management skills. He teaches managers under him to be just as suspect of their reps. I hear things are going to get even worse. I am actively looking to get out, as are a large percentage of the sales force.
Our 2013 goal of 22 percent increase is down the toilet! I am a TOP producer who got shit all over during my review ...numbers far exceeded all goals. Do you really think I am going to work this year after that sucker punch? Not!!! WK, your days are numbered! I hope God gives you what u deserve!
Just think. You got shit all over....for selling DOG FOOD!!!!!!!
I haven't had my review yet, if you are a top producer, what did you get dumped on for? What do you my top? Top 10, 20? Did you have the same district all year? Now I'm nervous
Do not waste time or energy being nervous about a review that means absolutely nothing! Believe me, no matter how good your numbers are, if you don't comply strictly to their dumbed down sales process and are not kissing your RM's ass, you will never get more than a "meets" .
VERY true. I'm not a good fit with the Royal Canin culture. My brain works fairly well, and I detest ass kissing "yes" people who can't decide one concrete thought or decision on their own. This place has a good amount of followers, but I think they are really searching for these personality types in interviews now.
Besides, even if you get an "exceeds", what does it really mean? .15 cents more per paycheck? Who cares what these people think of you. Consider the source!
I feel better after reading some of these posts...I thought I was alone..now I see how many of us are really in the same boat. Thanks for the posts....it helps me get through another day!
There is a royal canin position posted in my area. Anyone have any serious suggestions on how to get my foot in the door? They seem to expect a lot of experience for the position.
What city is it posted for? What industry are you coming from?
I have a great suggestion. Take your foot, remove it away from the RC door, place it next to your other foot, and run fast in the opposite direction.
Have you not read the previous posts? Are you this desperate?
Veterinary pharma distribution. Seriously, is RC that bad? Because they seem to have high expectations on their qualifications for people to be that unhappy.
Yes, it's bad. First of all you will be taking a demotion. You likely have far too much sales experience to be a manager. I would stay put unless you are about to be canned. You will find no joy in working at a place with so many, as someone already said, desperate types.
Unless you are about to lose your home, stay away from this company! Oh wait. You'll likely still go bankrupt with the paycheck here.
They treat pet food selling like a military operation. Losers!!

Yeah it's pretty bad. I came here from human Rx and can't believe some of the douchebags and skanky reps here. Met a guy at sales meeting - mike Fagstock from Ohio and he thought he was the shit. He told me he went to school to be a PE teacher. Fucking douche! And he looks stupid!
And what about the sales director? He's marrying some chick who was his secretary??? WTF!
I came here to find something outside of pharma but this shit sucks!!!!!!!

Yes. You're right. Most of these people are low rent. Just keep your head up and work with recruiters. You'll be out off here if you stick to a good plan
Hahaha. "And he looks stupid" Funniest thing I ever read on here
fagstock...too funny. If you think the rx force is low rent, you should see the retail sales team and their leadership team. Every one from top to bottom. We will be at national meeting this week and the management will look out into the audience and tell them they are the premier sales organization in the country. When I stand a that same podium and look into the crowd, I am embarassed at what I see.
No. It's not that bad. It's actually kind of easy. Not the highest pay, but great quality of life.
