Pros
Good pay. Decent benefits even though they seem to get worse for everyone every year no matter where you work, unless in the C-Suite or in Congress.
Cons
Decisions get made without regard for situational difficulties. I had customers who completely abandoned markets due to some of these decisions, resulting in no revenue going forward. These were good customers who paid an ever- increasing bill, month in and month out, on time for years. If you are too vocal these kinds of things, it will reflect negatively on you even though you’re just doing whatever you can to keep your billed revenue numbers up. Despite all of this, I still worked very hard to make sure I was doing everything I could to succeed. My last year there, 55-60 hour weeks were becoming normal, but I was selling and ended at over 150% NSR. I had what I thought was a pretty good start to 2023, but was laid off after 1Q23. Sad end to an almost 30 year career there.
