In my position as an (unecessary) account development specialist, I had limited training, intense micro-management, and expectations were changed at the drop of a hat. When I first started, there was no call quota as long as we set the appointments. Shortly thereafter, we were made to feel bad that we weren't making 40 calls a day and that became the quota. Shortly after that, we were scolded for not making at least 70 calls a day! My manager has a managerial style of treating the employees as children - if one person made a mistake, we all had to feel bad about it. I understand that as a new team, there is a lot of scrutinization from higher up, but that's not the employees' fault. We were all trying our best and I really disliked feeling like I had disapproving eyes staring over my shoulder at all times. This position is unecessary. It's nothing but telemarketing. I felt ashamed to tell that to my family and friends. I spent my day cold calling financial executives, trying to get them to talk to my "director" (the outside sales rep) and hopefully fall for a product that's ultimately a scam. To add to this, I was told by the person that hired me that I would be receiving a commission after 3 months' time for all the appointments I set, but this was chalked up as a "rumor." Pay is minimal. The job is humiliating.

Changing of pay structure multiple times with no notice Promising raises/promotions and using their best workers Micromanagement to its fullest extent Recouping commission whenever they see fit Even though you kill your quota, the first day you don't make the 100 "cold calls", which equate to 5% of sales they are coming to your desk Management has no clue how to sell, they offer feedback and are always wrong. When they do get on the phone or presentation to try to sell it goes nowhere lol. No respect! No matter how great you are or what you do they will always expect more. I could go on and on but I don't have time.
