Hard work but the reward is good - Client Acquisition Black Sheep Utilities Employee Review

Booze, occasional praise, early finish on a Friday

The office runs off of a hierarchy of cliques. There are certain employees that the CEO will move heaven and earth for (the top two sales agents at the time), but the rest he will just watch on CCTV and call in for hour long meetings weekly where he will just scream at you and tell you how bad at your job you are. It's not uncommon to see staff crying, people will quit on a daily basis, managers will change procedures and protocols every hour without telling staff and then have a row with you over it saying that you 'should have known better' as though you were a mind reader. You form trauma bonds with your colleagues over free ham sandwiches and meeting them in the bathroom where you will go to cry - no one who values their mental health stays at Black Sheep for more than a few months. Any concerns or worries you have are entirely dismissed, team leaders and managers have little to no say in what they actually tell you due to the big brother experience of the cameras in the office. Completely understand needing/wanting to occasionally check in on your company but the constant watching of the cameras at BSU by the CEO give the office a big brother feel. Some staff are genuinely lovely, but most are out to stab you in the back at any opportunity with no consequence, in fact its rewarded due to the toxicity of this workplace. Once I left BSU it felt like a huge weight was taken off of my shoulders, I wouldn't even send my worst enemy to work here as it completely destroys anyone who walks through the door.

Commission, great people, reward for hard work, stable income, good work/life balance with early finishes on Friday

It can be tough but in my experience all sales jobs are!
