Like the headline says, if you find a way to win in this impossible environment, you will likely be a fixture with the company and have a voice. unfortunately, so much of what I am exposed to the brand has no reputation, no weight, no difference than a cheap offshore chinese firm. The wins all come from struggles and you have to make this all about you and your own personal brand. You might as well start your own business. The group here brings almost nothing to the table. I could offshore this product and sell as a distributor and make more money, Work less hours. Make myself rich and never deal with unrealistic quotas or leaderships crazy expectations or commitments they made becasue they want to be a public company so leadership can cash out and be wealthy. I see no reason to be here and hope I am not very long. My quota has been near 20% for 3 years in a business that is overall dropping 10+% YOY. Not my territory but the entire company has been dropping (this applies to an FG division not company wide). Even in a company that had great growth happening I have never been asked to hit 20% to get commission pay. Its absurd. The only reason I am here is for my own mental well being. I told myself when I started to give it all and not self sabatoge. At the beginning of next year if things look the same as the past 3 years. I will quit, I won't even worry about what to do next. I have lots of licensing and professional experience. I am 20+ years into my sales career. This will be my last corporate BS stop regardless of the turnout. I may be here for 20+ years or gone in 12 months. So far, this company is all about going public, at the cost of everyone and everything inside the company. Some inititatives have been detrimental and thank god there is new leadership at the helm. However, all they see is top line and EBIDTA because they have equity and it pays when/if the company goes public. Rational thought is gone and greed is king.

uh. read the pros, I unloaded the cons there. The pros, decent base pay, decent insurance, decent 401k, decent work life balance. Idiotic expectations.
