What don't you like about working at Gordon Flesch?

"Sorry if I am blrutally honest and blunt so here it is. Their quotas were unatainable for most. The management style needed to be overhauled. Most new hires lasted 2-3 months. It was a turn and burn. Get new hires in to give 120% effort with little results in a small congested territory. Then they were fired. New hires were brought in to work the same territory with high efforts. This management style allowed for each territory to have a new hire that would give 120% for 2-3 months and fail. Then they would just replace that rep with a new one. Its a great way to have each territory covered by an rep that will give 120% each month of the year. I was lucky and figured it out early. Luckily I am a master at selling and made their quotas and was asked to relocate without a relocation package. Then the separation was made."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would only make suggestions if I was given the opportunity to restructure and reposition the company. I cannot share my trade secrets."
