COMMERSHIAL!!!

yeah well at least they give us materials - some good most bad. the otjer craphole in acorda is sales ops peeps who r always ripping us off. on top of that if you call them they are fucking nasty as shit.
 




























I am so sorry that the Starbucks Leadership is not appreciating all your efforts to improve your sales capabilities. At Acorda, we tried to mentor you. Unfortunately, you were not able to rise to the challenge, and we had to let you go. However, we trust that you have all the skills required to make a wonderful Café-au-Lait.

A little advice : get off CafePharma, and spend the time reading your Barista-Manual.

Best of Luck.


Reality check: Do you think the people who have left Acorda are the people who come back to post? Are you out of your mind? Those who left have forgotten this company. The frustration is coming directly from the ones who stayed like yourself. These are the people keeping CafePharma alive and up-to-date! BTW, what are you doing in CafePharma. Would you like to share a wonderful Cafe-au-Lait or would you like to read the Barista-Manual together....
 




knowing many of the people in Commercial HQ, I can tell ya that most will be gone of their own accord in the near or short term future. they are all burned out and lauren in order to cut costs does not care. most bite their tongues but they all talk to us in other depts. some are working close to 70 hours plus a week and the org is a shiity mess. lauren - good people will leave. they may smile to ur face but they are BURNED OUT!

Can you explain how LS tries to cut costs when she hires TWO executive directors of marketing? Do you know what those positions are worth when taking into consideration salary, bonus, equity? That's probably the equivalent of 4-5 SPMs......you know, the ones that actually work! Cut costs my arse!

This was a farce! First they are doing product mgr work. Both are not high caliber at all. This was a waste of hire and money! More fat for a small company. POOOOR DECISION!
 




Agree.
This was not needed.
The biggest thing is that marketing is not responsive at all. They work in a VACUUM!
A complete shit show and they are not responsive to us in the field at all.

I can imagine what goes on inside. I met both EDs at the POA. Brenda was wound up tight and rude!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the other was oblivious.

I have worked for several companies and this is by far the worst marketing dept ever.
