When I first joined the company, I was under the impression that I would be constantly making commissions as an account manager when making hires. Only to find out on my first day that I had to make a certain amount of GP before I could start making money. In my tenure there, I saw five new people leave quickly. That’s a sign that there is something broken with the company. And the company branch isn't big! We had redundant meetings on where you were at with your orders. At one point, we had 11 meetings weekly, talking about the same things. That’s not to keep us on track, that’s about control. You will be asked to work with impossible clients on trying to fill hires for them, and in the same breath they will ask “Why is your GP not where it needs to be?”
The micromanaging was also frustrating. I will never forget being berated by my VP via email in front of my team. It was so humiliating. This company has been struggling for a few years, due to the tightening of markets and the rise of ai, and have done multiple layoffs in the past.
The company has lower than average holidays. They would rather promote burnout than giving employees rest.
