The role was completely mis advertised on a ridiculous scale. It states 70/30 split for new accounts / previous spenders. This is a huge lie, I had over 300 accounts on my list and only 6 were previous spenders, only one of which had purchased anything within the past 2 years.
The base salary for sales is very poor, and is only 1k a year above minimum wage. It takes a while to get going with commission so expect your first 12 months to be barely above that (if at all).
I was told that OTE for year 1 was 32k which is 8k of commission, this was also false as once employed I saw the true figures, it was miles off that.
The management are overbearing and discussions feel like interrogations. I let my line manager know I was struggling with the work and being lied too, after that I was shunned out and ignored until I quit 2 months after that.
My hybrid working was verbal advertised to me after 6-10 weeks. However,
I enquired about this after reaching this period and was constantly pushed back for over 3 months, excuse after excuse to delay it with no tangible reason given. It is clear to me that it's due to micromanaging and 'not wanting to let employees out of their sight'.
It talks about OTE of 100k+ after 5 years, this is a major stretch and I personally didn't know anyone who achieved this. A top tier account manager with a decade of experience were averaging 60-80k a year depending on sector.
This kind of role suits someone who is a workaholic and is willing to go all out on the line, hitting the phone all day every day to achieve that. If you value the 'potential' of a good salary at the cost of stress, then this role is for you.
