Micromanaged & unfair sales targets

Business Outlook

Pros

- amazing benefits - pension matching & cash-out options

Cons

- micromanaged (must hit 40 outbounds and 10 inbounds with 2.5 hours of talking minimum a day, regardless of what client needs were via email etc.) - only 2 team members were allowed at a time to have time off and tenured reps always had priority for time off and this is selected at the beginning of each calendar year, meaning December/popular times for vacation were never available for newer reps - continuous moving targets meaning during time off, your target would continue to grow, making time off extremely stressful
