There is no sense of job security, the new CEO is insane, cutting costs left and right (by ending leases, forcing people to relocate, and but cutting entire departments altogether) Our team of 50 was terminated Jan 18, despite being above quota every year. I can understand why we were cut though. No one knew there was an inside sales team. There was no push from the top to integrate the team into the long standing routines of the outside teams. There was no announcement. Months are spent, upon hire, trying to get the word out that we even existed. Those that utilized our talent were very successful. Those that did not were often below their quota. The focus is on the outside account management teams, who are stretched so thin that it is literally not possible for them to get around to all of their customers regularly. This is why inside sales was started in the first place. Philips had, and will continue to have, a reputation of terrible customer service. They are the company that closes the deal, and then never touches you again.
