      Best-in-Class Greed & Manipulation

      Director of business development
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Masters degree in dealing with dishonest “professionals”

      Cons

      Imagine a salesforce where an inner circle of commissioned VP’s not only direct incoming leads, but administer and police the company CRM. They will search through it using privileged access, find accounts you have established, then use the details to reach out to other units at the same company, claiming your previous work as their own. As you get promoted, you will be made to start from scratch finding accounts per the structure below: Account manager: 100% of commissions from your sales go to your manager, forever Account Executive: 50% of all commissions go to your manager, forever Director of Business Development: new accounts you find you keep 100%, provided no one else claims to have helped uncover the account or worked with them before (good luck there). Mind you, the old accounts you split are expected to grow and be managed by you, and will take up the majority of your day - making the possibility of finding new business through cold calling quite remote. The model hires kids out of college and makes them think this is how normal businesses are run. Many excellent production folks, but the sales program is completely corrupt and a poison to productivity and the motivation of honest people. Do not waste your time, energy and sanity working here, you will be used as a tool for the enrichment of others.

      By far the worst company I have ever worked for

      Director business development
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a lot of learning resources internally. Some of the people aren't that bad

      Cons

      There are so MANY! First of all there was no effort into onboarding during COVID to ensure that employees had a good experience. Leadership preaches work like balance but in reality the expectation is to be available to clients at all times. When I interviewed I was told the hours were 9-5. When I started the hours became 8:30-5:30/6 but it is really 24/7 because you always have to be available to clients. The mindset is that individuals in sales should invest in themselves, therefore the company will not provide any resources to make you more efficient or productive. Every employee creates their own zoom account because the company won't provide them. Sales has to handle their own billing and collections. As a sales professional I have never been asked to handle billing and collections. I think it's absurd that sales has to spend there time collecting payments from clients. And if the client doesn't pay in time your commission takes a hit. What scares me the most is that I interacted with employees that have been working at TransPrefect since they graduated college and they don't know that companies can be run so much better than this and its a horrible work environment.
