Any time a company makes the following claims, you should push back and try to get more information before assuming it's the truth. While some can deliver, others can't - and it's up to you to figure out which ones are sincere. The potential lies are:
- There's a lot of opportunity for advancement.
- The bonus structure will double your income.
- Your territory is protected and we won't change it.
- You'll get extensive training.
- You'll have scheduling flexibility and can work from home on occasion.
- We'll hire you some help when it gets busy.
- Once you fix this problem/department/project, etc., you'll get to work on something new and exciting.
