Unfortunately after a year or so on the job, it seems that the company is not very invested into your growth or development. The Chicago location was growing too fast and throughout the past year, the sales team has shrunk by at least 50% with very few senior reps left. Everybody will have their gripes about work but there tends to be a few common issues that you hear amongst many reps, and all go in tandem with one another. Money is probably the biggest factor (low hourly wage, high quota, and not receiving your books unless you hit quota even though you’ve put in the work and the company is still getting paid). The biggest problems are:
1. Lack of training and development
2. High turnover rate
3. Dwindling office culture
4. Deals from previous reps being given to assistant managers
5. Very low/unlivable wages
There have been numerous meetings to discuss these issues, but ultimately there has been little to no change. There is always an emphasis on how you can have a great career here, but trying to do so is an entirely different story.
