Best product on the market - worst method of delivering it
Pros
- Drive great cars - Road trips - Events - Late start times - Looks good on the CV
Cons
- work-life balance, you will be made to work at stupid hours with no notice and have days off cancelled without warning, good luck maintaining a healthy relationship with your other half - progression does not exist unless you happen to make friends with the right people at the right time and don't stand up for yourself and say yes to everything - people in my team would work for the equivalent of less than minimum wage when considering the hours they would put in - product specialist role is very very dull but sold as a dream. You will not get the chance to learn anything through the training program, in the 2 years I was there I had three training days, most of which were completely unfounded on truth or established practices. - I hope you like waiting on expenses for three months - no commission, even before the commision was laughable...if you sold a £50K used car you could potentially expect £5 commission and it wouldn't count towards your target - travelling to events should be compensated for and not done on days off, however, this is the case every time - staff turnover, this is a particularly big issue within my team there were 6 sales staff in a team of 10 that left or were fired in less than 2 years and across the UK every week there was someone else that left in all levels of positions - do you have a good laptop? are you willing to use it at work? no? don't join, you won't get anywhere.
