Fully expensed car, no direction from any management up to MD level
Pros
The car is fully expensed with a fuel card etc, you’re also left to your own devices which is nice. Good work / life balance. The product is fantastic and you can’t fault it, it’s an easy sell when you can get the price right.
Cons
Very poor pay, the basic is £1500 per month (the minimum you can earn is 22k as they top you up if you fall short, but this is still awful pay considering the job market). The company culture / mood and feel of the place is dire. Everyone is miserable and you’re lucky if you find a rep who works more than 3 hours per day (management don’t like to admit it). Stock levels in the UK are a joke and it leads to lord of angry customers and difficulty when negotiating prices. As a rep, you are treated like you are at the bottom of the barrel. Basic company information is withheld from you and it feels like you are not trusted with anything. A lot (not all) of the office staff are plain rude. There is almost no direction from upper management, the MD bangs on about wanting results for all of the KPI’s but never puts anything in place to help you get those results. Little opportunities for progression unless you want to become full time admin / punching bag as an area manager.
