Pros

The people I worked with were great. Based out in the field was THE hardest I've done and with the support of all field staff kept you going as all in same boat.

Cons

Management: what a mess. Putting your bottom line first before your employees is such negative approach to be used. No progression to be had unless based in London. Field Staff are treated with so much negativity. Future developments were not to be given. Only one training session when I started 4 years ago. Other than that the blind led the blind on all processes and procedures. All future developments were done with out negotitiation with the people it affects the most. Going from double wage in commission to less then £100 per month and no support from the powers that be to help - too much work and no return. Being an employee for 4 years an getting shares WAS a great incentive - now they are worth 1/4 of the original value.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
