      they do not promote fairly, only promote people they know even if they can't do the job

      Sales manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      large company, many division to move to, if you are willing to relocate or if your manager is willing to let you go (managers have to approve all internal transfers)

      Cons

      decision is very centralized, there is no autonomy, internal sales approval process is long and tiring. many middle/senior managers have to approve everything in order to justify their job,.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is constantly looking to expand its products and markets. It also provides decent pay and benefits for the employees.

      Cons

      In order to advance, one must be part of the inner circle. The company is not interested into developing its people.
