Pros
Good products, good work/life balance.
Cons
- 73% of sales turnover year after year while middle management that approved hiring has been around for 6+ years ( could this be the problem?) - Unbelievably micro managed with superiors who can't see past Q1 forecast. If a deal is almost closed then, without warning, executive management swoop down and treat the customer like garbage, push the account manager who discovered the opportunity out of the way ruining any relationship and are only looking for money. No interest in satisfying the client. - Work environment and culture is poisoned by middle management. Everyone is a superior to sales and thus your superior, prepare to be spoken too with little to no respect. - Micro-management in sales includes how many calls, emails, meeting, net new clients and partner visits per week!. Senior executives inspect and offer the same advice on closing any deal... "offer them a lower price" -New senior C-level executives who have been placed to fix or ensure customer satisfaction are laughed at by middle management, this company does not know how to treat customers. - Remote offices in countries that have not heard of the company are not given a chance to establish there reputation. Any sales to clients are won on price, not value and lead to the most amount of client remorse I have ever seen! -Started as a mainframe company and as all others have embraced the cloud, SAG looks at it as an afterthought. Channel Partner practice is a complete an utter joke! Again inferior middle management and plethora of middle management executives hired from within who don't understand selling through the channel and bring the same toxic work environment to new initiatives. Outlook - Long term plans for sales are non existent, 73% admitted churn, how lucky are you? Take a look on business social networking sites, you won't find any SAG sales employees that have been there more then 2 years
