Hi Everyone has been calling me and emailing me to find out all the details of how and why I left HITthe bottom line is I just could not take it any longer. Sitting at my desk crying 2 and 3 times a day is just not what I see as my future with a successful company. When I started with this company 4 years ago. IT WAS GREAT!!! I BELONGED I was so proud to be making the amount of money I was and helping the company grow to become successful. Giving away thousands in toys and prizes to employees including a Harley Davidson, vacations. Ect. It was never going to end. Life was great so I thought?
I dont know what happen to the management side of this company all I know is what I felt and went through as an employee.
I feel I have been there long enough to have an opinion and to be heard..
It started to all change about one year ago. When management started to look at the big picture they either saw dollar signs or oh no were going down. Either one pushed them into a discussion that would hurt customer wallets, employees integrity and their own.
The personal sales training meetings from the owner was great but we never could apply it to our sales pitches because, to the VP it was just a joke and we needed to say and do whatever to get that sale!
Our sales team pitches were so misleading and just flat out wrong!!! And management may not have liked the way the sales team was being ran. But nothing was done! And no one stopped it!!! Too much control was given to VPs from the owners with head turned and one ear and one eye closed as long as the NUMBERS were hit every day. No one was to be accountable
8 hours a day or more hearing. If theyre not going to buy get them off the phonejust say whatever it takes just get their cc card#... If your blanking your staying. Meaning you would have to stay after 5 to help the company HIT their numbers even if you had already hit your personal goal which is understandable if everyone on your team was a team player, and the guilt and looks brought on with walking out the door at 5 was ruthless, having to go to the owners office and ASK and BEG him and give him an EXCUSE and reason why you have to leave at 5pm? Endless emails telling us were NOT trying, were not good enough, were just not motivated, and need to work harder to feed the kids in Haiti, saving kids in Haiti is an amazing thing, I even donate money every check, but I did not start out working for a Non Profit Org. And my kids and family are just as important to me emails sent from management may have been sent to motivate us? But we also had 2 very loud and annoying leaders telling us and confirming what we already knew that we were behind! And the extra stress knowing if I did not get that company money lives and kids were starving in Haiti. Wow the pressure!!!
Also another annoying word was. Stay GREEN (no one would know the curdle up my spine and what that means unless you were sitting there every day hearing it at least 20 times a hr) yelling behind my desk as leaders would hit your chair and yell at you to get working and get on the phones. VPs Throwing and kicking things when he felt we were not trying. At one time the owner told us on a Monday 5 employees WILL BE LET GO on Friday so all week we walked on pins and needles, mean while we had constant emails telling us how hard it is out in the world to find a job in this economy. So Friday morning came and for a JOKE one at a time the VP would come to our desk as everyone watched and asked you to go to the conference room. The stress on that floor was bone chilling thickonce we got into the room the owner handed us a paper, in big black letters it stated YOUR SAFEhow cruel was that also after many un planned pay cuts, commission changes and unreal expectations and unreachable goals and all the lying to employees the brain washing the cold cold office the having to ask to go to the bathroom, no 15 min brakes scheduled, and 15% pay cut because of the economy, and commission cuts even when hitting your personal goal daily.
The VP is willing to change your numbers because someone knowingly jacked your lead and sold it with him very well knowing! And after the fact saying sorry nothing I can do it was already in the systemleads being given and taken depending on his mood and who he wants to help that particular day or hour and depending on who stayed late to hit goal. (even though jacking a lead is as bad as stealing money out of my pocket.) As wrong as it may sound on some occasions I was the one that needed help that day and excepted his help.
Reading all the usacomplaints. Coms.com consumerreports.com ect and lying to my customers everyday (I want to sincerley apologize to my thousands of customers to whom I mislead and changed there course in having a successful website), The product and services we were providing was just not worth the commitments I was promising to the customer. I became a high paid liar!!! All this and much much more within the 4 YEARS I HAVE A RIGHT TO SPEAK MY MIND
This is why I Quit I was just one of the weak ones I guess? I just could not cut it this was what was told to my peers.
Today I visited a friend in the parking lot next to HIT. 20 minutes later I was called by HR asking me by the owners to not converse with HIT employees from the hrs of 8 to 5 WOW Because she was afraid I would recruit.
If you havent already left I give you the courage and hope to tell you your better than this company leads you believe...
PS: already found a new job. Took me one day. And I will be making just as much feeling Free and appreciated. Isnt that all we really want.
