Too many to name. And honestly I wouldnโt name them here anyway. I like my anonymity.

Worked for an "internet marketing" agency that was part of a dying software development company. I would never go back to selling marketing services of any kind...

Head of Sales
Last place I was at, was a real doozy. I was first real enterprise hire they had made in 15yr. Reneged on my ramp bonus half way through, comp plan was unachievable despite me closing $2m in 9mo (showed them how to fix it and they wouldnโt budge), built a revised comp/bonus plan that was equally unachievable, complete lack of training/systems/processes, CEO was totally aloof and CFO was a self-important misogynist. Reported to co-founder/CMO, he was a great guy, but was dealing with total chaos. Dealt with plenty of red flags until they refused to pay, I ainโt working for free.

Working for a supply chain company. Management is very nice but theyโre too focused on short term. This will come back to bite them.
100%. They arenโt interested in hearing it. Itโs all about hyper growth. 3x by EOY.
Except at the moment itโs been negative SQL/MQL growth this year.

My first sales job out of college. Taught me a lot about not taking shit from people just because you have "V" in your title.

Division Sales Manager (North America)
RDM role for 4 months. I wrote the SOP's for travel planning, territory management meetings, post-trip reports, and trained the other RDM's who were all hired at the same time. Sales Director was one of the owners and treated us like property. Last day I was stranded on the highway during a snowstorm, went home to work remote for the day. He called me and said "if you're not in in 30mins I consider you quitting," and I live 40mins from the office. Got in, waited for him for 20 mins and he came out and fired me on the spot. I got a 4wk severance without him even knowing about it because the other owners were nice guys, but man that guy sucked.

Director of Sales, Americas
One company hired me as a VP of Sales with a solid base. They knew where I was located as it was positively discussed during the interview and they had no problem. Day 1 the CEO said, "I am paying you as if you lived in NYC. You need to move there or we are cutting your pay." I told him that doing that was unethical, he was aware of where I lived, he is paying me for my connections and experience (not geography) and if he ever tried that shit with me again he would be looking for a new sucker. I quit 9 months later because I saw even more crap as time went on.

Any expert network out there like Third Bridge, GLG, Guidepoint, etc. You're paid minimum wage because you're fresh out of college, you're made to do 100-200 cold outbounds a day on a big calling floor, and you're on 10-15 different projects at a time.
Once you hit your month quota, they keep pushing you even though it nets out to be ~$20 per close. Scam imo.
