Job Description

TRAINING

The Sales Trainee (ST) is a training role. Upon successful participation in the training program, the ST is eligible to interview for open Account Sales Manager (ASM) roles.

Upon completion of the program and certification, if no ASM or otherwise qualified role is available AND the ST is meeting performance standards, the employee may remain in the ST role up to 12 months OR until an ASM or another qualified role is available (whichever comes first).

Once an ASM or another qualified role is available, the certified ST must interview for that role.

If promotion to ACCOUNT SALES MANAGER (or other role) does not occur prior to the expiration of the 12-month completion period, the SALES TRAINEE role will be vacated unless an exception applies.

For exceptions, based on continued high performance, no open roles, and certification completion, a manager may extend the 12-month period by an additional 6 months.

The ST role is at-will, meaning the Company or the ST can terminate employment at any time, for any reason or no reason at all, with or without cause.
