toxic environment in sales team
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
There were some good colleagues. It started off well.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
For Mental Health Week, I was asked to share my experience while working in the Sales Team at FoxInsights. It reflects in so many employees constantly leaving. Situation in JF with manager was tense when I gave feedback on goals or process or market situation. I couldn't talk to our manager directly but had to send questions via Slack even when she was sitting right there.
There was constant struggle to work the teams and it was terrible if we shared any issues faced by customers or feedback where the product needed improvement. When customers complaned about quality or tech issues there was no way to get quick and meaningful help to respond to them, and I ended up looking like fool in front of customers. Support team was completely unreliable.
Even when the company promoted about hiring international workers, respect was missing. One was left out of important strategic and regular topics if you didn’t know German. Clear bias towards those who thought and operated like locals or the way the manager wanted. On top of that, there were one or two colleagues who worked hard to be the manager’s favourite and would go to any extent to please them including guilting colleagues to contribut to manager’s birthday gift. This same affection was never shown by the same people towards colleagues’ birthdays. Guess who then gets promoted!
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Be fair to employees. Have experience people lead others.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
there was no room to give feedback about manager's behavior. HR was not neutral and only on management side.
Kommunikation
We had to get permission before talking to the Product Team and developers would respond rudely in open chat, and no one would stand up against that.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Not pleasant.
Interessante Aufgaben
You are stuck with support and quality issues. Fixing hardware.

Made me and my friends go mental. I agree with feedback written here by others about about micromanagement, unfairness and poor management.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
we worked for oil companies. you can answer yourself.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
very difficult to earn commission. goals and expectations were not clearly communicated and became unrealistic over time. not to forget constant lying by managers and changing what they had agreed to previously.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
no focus on professional development.
