Poor Higher Up Management Decisions - werkgeversreview Business Development Executive (BDE) bij KPay Merchant Service

-You get BDE team members that are very good in teaching, and some area managers that care.

-The commission structure always changes when someone is doing good, some of the commissions you can barely see. -No respect for work-life balance and time outside work. -No transport allowance. Be prepared to spend $200-$300 in gas, tolls, and fares for public transport weekly. -No ramp-ups, straight termination in 1 month if you don't hit the ridiculous targets. -Unpaid overtimes are the norm. Marketing team is just unpaid interns. -Base pay is a joke. The promise of anything above $80k in OTE is a straight scam. -If the management's expected numbers are not met, good luck. BDEs take so much of the blame, without regard to oversaturation, customer behaviours, or just overall uncompetitive rates and features. -Unprofessional behaviour, such as calling people out straight in the BD chat instead of communicating with the manager and the BD first and knowing the full situation. -The quality of booked meetings isn't the best. You would often spend so much time travelling just to face results of miscommunication between the telesales team. -Poor product launch. Sudden changes would mean that previously promised features and inclusions would suddenly not be available to fulfill. Trust erodes between the merchants and the company standing. BDEs would often get the blame as the customer facing reps. -Job listing has outlined visa sponsorship to lure people in. That is not true.

Worked in CBD office. What I'm going to say in this review applies to all roles in the office not just sales. - The youthful culture and vibes are about all the strengths of this role.

- If you are a fresh grad from uni desperate for a job this role will seem alluring to you. Don't fall for it you will come to hate yourself for it truly. - Unpaid overtime is expected, blatantly exploiting the youth of the employees who genuinely don't know any better. - Performance expectations that don't match the low salary of $55,000 a year. - 6pm finish time which allows for pretty much no life outside of work. - No vertical mobility. You will most likely be stuck at $55,000 with no growth and minimal pay raises which will realistically put you in the $60,000 range after a year or two of working, which is barely the industry norm for entry level salaries.
