Performance is irrelevant

District manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good income, hours are not excessive. Holidays and time off good

Cons

Most political oriented organization I have ever witnessed. If you are connected or a favorite of the right manager/executive, you can perform poorly and it won't matter. But your manager will throw you under the bus to save their own neck if they are not performing well and you will be blamed for their shortcomings - even if you are one of the best performing sales managers in % of quota in the entire country. Commission first year will be obtainable, subsequently it will be nearly impossible to reach your quota.

Some divisions (M&E) are more problematic than others. Recently made useless acquisitions without having done required due diligence. Lack of vision, poor communication and management from many senior leaders.
