No employee investment, no company cultureThe good thingsThe opportunity to push myself outside my comfort zone through public speaking and presentations
The challengesTerrible company culture or rather, no culture at all. Weekly meetings were silent because everyone was too afraid to speak up in case management didn’t like what they heard. There’s no real training or support. I worked remotely, and my manager only joined me on an in person sales call once in over a year. Management constantly needed to be “right” and would ask for feedback but then make excuses for why things were done their way. They promised opportunities to experience expeditions, yet after 14 months I never once set foot on a ship, even though I was in field sales. Decisions were made based on personal opinions rather than data or sound reasoning. There’s no focus on upskilling or professional development. I didn’t gain anything new in terms of sales skills. The structure is confusing, with constant crossover between roles and no clear accountability. Overall, it’s a toxic, schoolyard-style environment led by unqualified management.
