Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Exposure to complex client environments, Opportunity to develop strong customer communication skills

Cons

- Base salaries are below market for comparable sales roles - Commission/bonus structure is tied to engineering delivery rather than revenue generated - The Built Environment group has significant project delays and turnaround issues - Sales executives spend a disproportionate amount of time managing customer complaints instead of selling - The role operates more as reactive account management than proactive sales - Frequent rollout of new processes that do not address root operational bottlenecks - High stress environment with elevated burnout risk
