Salesforce reviews

Achieving your target depends heavily on the distribution of accounts/opportunities and therefore on luck and/or on the appreciation of your manager when (s)he distributes accounts and related opportunities. Salesforce managers refer to equality as an important principle, but some individuals seem more equal than others.. Most sales do not attain their targets in Belgium and base salary is low. There’s even people earning more on mileage expense than on base salary and commissions combined for several months. Be careful when stories are told before you sign your contract about very high salaries in case of going above your target. Almost none of the sales achieve >100% of their target and you typically enter without getting any decent opportunities. This obviously allows for direct pressure from the start. Poor package of benefits overall (e.g. no company car despite fiscal advantages in Belgium and not even a sales allowance/'representatievergoeding'). Unless if you’re one of the lucky few who goes well above targets. Very poor culture in Belgium in particular and poor coaching as well in my view. Also, in my case, there were several issues with payments, with Salesforce claiming that they would start paying (still waiting for payments now that were due more than a month ago). They don’t seem to care about local laws and rules in a small country to them like Belgium.

Working on weekends and holidays Stress Lots of hires and lots of fired employees - high turnover
