Pros
Previously some great learning opportunity from seasoned sales people and to force the practise of good sales execution. Unfortunately the new wave of “leaders” don’t have any of the credentials to run the dictatorship.
Cons
Despite any previous sales experience expect to be treated like you have just left school. There is an expectation that everybody is incompetent and has to be subservient to the management, opinions are frankly not allowed and during QBRs you are only expected to give “yes” or “no” answers. Calls and meetings will be put into your diary at 7am and considered mandatory without any discussion. The deep dive into your “drive” uncovered during your interview process will be questioned constantly and used to humiliate you publicly. Expect to see marriages breakdown as the norm, as well as health problems - there won’t be any support when this happens. The lion culture has become a cult, and leadership with credibility replaced with a bunch of 30-something’s who thrive on belittling the people around them. It’s a cult.. which if you make it out alive will make you realise the psychological impact of working in such a toxic environment.
