PEOPLE FIRED ON THE SPOT NO WARNING FOR NOT MEETING TARGETS COMMON PRACTICE
Pros
trip to New York on the company... I had to ask to be trained as no one was willing to demonstrate the role.
Cons
hard work doesn't pay off. favoured members of the sales team who make no calls receive bonuses from accounts never earned by them. I can't tell you how many people have been fired on the spot with no justification or warning. Simply not meeting a target (a target based on others sales and so impossible to predict) slimey management treat meetings like an episode of the apprentice and don't care about your development. i was told i was not suitable after 9 months of being told how well i was doing. developed shingles (probably from the stress) and so was off for three weeks, fired on the phone! no warning, told i wasn't suitable. bullied, sexually harassed shouted and sworn at. people fired at random with no warning i'm sure it's totally illegal. mind you many illegal practices going on... just work somewhere else. anywhere else.
