*This app won't let me scroll to add a closing remark at the bottom so I'm staying here: This post is to get the Bravado network's thoughts on how to balance the extra expectations that come with sales roles at progressive companies.*
Context:
I'm almost one year at a new company (large software company) and although this is my 3rd corporate sales job, I'm blown away by the expectations they have of me outside of my actual sales role.
I'm talking about employee obligations from a compliance and/or culture perspective.
I've never seen so many required compliance trainings and development trainings that are on demand tagged with a due date on your HR profile. For example, I have 40 hours with of training to complete by end of Feb without ability to work over time.
We are also encouraged to get involved in internal community groups, volunteer with our partner charity orgs, do stretch projects outside of our role - and these "contributions" are considered in our performance review discussions with management alongside our sales metrics.
