I got the job as a regional manager too this week.. But did not follow through or accept the job... Due to some reasons..

No 1...after the interview, we (newly employed regional managers)were asked to recruit business development officers on Monday this week.. I did not buy into that idea cos.. I can't start any job without seeing the offer letter...

No 2..we were employed as RM.. But told to work this month as BDM and our performance for the rest of this month will determine if we will be upgraded to the RM we were originally employed as.... Not a good arrangement for me..

No 3...nothing else... Though.., from grapevine info .. I heard their pay is good.. And they pay promptly on 25th..

In conclusion... The job is real... The company has great visions which will take over Nigerian fintech and compete with uber.... But the recruitment process I witnessed was not below par... Give or take.. Opay.. Oride... And O everything will be a household name in 6 months.. Cos their tech is cool

Same here, they will never issue you an employment letter, we started as BDM, from 120 candidates to 50, after series of test, interviews and all that, all my set on the island, Lekki precisely, everybody ran away, when you heard how much they are paying, you will even quit your current job and apply.
I discussed with the first set(BD) the real thing is if you fail to be captured any day at work, your salary will be deducted, if you do not meet your target the next 3 days, you will be issued a warning letter, after then 'sack' letter, they sack like they don't care, then the painful part, your commission of the current month you work will be paid the end of the next month, so should in case you ran away you must always leave you commission (commission is bigger than salary) and getting the commission is not easy....they are Chinese..
If you know you know..
You knew what am not discouraging any one, tell you brother to give it a try..

They keep recruiting every now and then
BD's na the Koko for the company, but their rules and target is high...

They don't pay 25th, they pay 30th ,31st

Thank you captainking for your wonderful and incisive comment. I appreciate it.
Will tell my cousin not to go ahead. Without an offer letter, it is risky to pick up any appointment.

An organization that sacks arbitrarily is a No no for me.
And owned by the Chinese? Nah! We will pass.

Thanks bro

Truth is this...if your cousin has a job currently, he should think well before resigniing...
if he does not....he should accept it...at least their pay is consistent....
I wanted to use it as side hustle but it is too time demanding for me
Cheers

Modified...I was told their payday is 25th,, obviously,,,i was wrong

My concern is job security. With the way they are sacking right left and center, i wonder how long one can really last in such an atmosphere.

Secondly, will they pay that amount that is been bandied around for a regional manager?

I have no idea, but of concern to me is,...why will they pay commision for a job done this month end of next month, it is a way of enslaving staff to make them stay or make those that wants to leave loose their commisions....which to me...is really really bad..

Yes they will pay, 'IF' you can recruite BD's and make sure they deliver, you meet your target, and be patient the nxt month for commission.

Every location, they positioned a white guy, who sees everything, those guys are damm serious,they are the ones giving your report to the Boss.

I know how much I spent for days,going to Ikeja from Ajah for this job, I was ready to trek any where in Lekki/ajah to get merchants, but

Let me break it down, RM are the top in the operation rage or hierarchy.

That's where Nigerians stop, then the next phase the whites.


.. As a regional manager, you manage about 10 BDMs, ( business development managers), who in turn manage about 12-15 BDs (business developers) they are marketers, the working condition boils down to the customers...

If the customers like the service and use it you earn big if they don't baba you are finished, the BDs performance is invariably that of the BDMs performance, while that of the BDMs performance is invariable that of the RM...


The salary is divided into two, if you meet 65% target you get only salary, if not the pay u n exut u, if you meet 100% target you get salary with bonus, the bonus is higher than the salary and is paid the following months.


As a RM the truth is you will most likely die of HBP or heart attack when result aren't coming in, the punishment is demoting you to the rank of BDM, if performance no improve you will be further demoted to BD before they exit you if you no wan go.

I turned it down.

Please what's the job description of the Operation support guys at Opay? Thanks.

This is easily the best post on this thread.
Okay people here are looking for some form of charity. Of course this sense of entitlement is not their fault.

It's transmitted from the school system.

Everyone now wants a job where they put in as minimal effort as possible while expecting to reap maximally. Unfortunately, this is a Chinese driven investment and it will be run using the world famous Chinese Work ethic. Only the very best will survive and yet thrive.

I think this is going to provide a great learning platform for the serious and career minded Nigerian applicant.

The unserious ones can seek out civil service jobs or enrol for NPOWER.

That's how commission jobs roll. Every activity for that month till the last day of that month is reviewed and after calculation your pay comes in next month.
If dey decide to pay same months then they may likely be unable to review the performances done in the last days of the month. Hope you get the drift

I know this bro.. But.. Most commission jobs pay the commission second week of the new month.. Especially in the finance sector.. It is well

This doesn't apply in all cases.

The Smithwesson guy is more in tune with the realities of commissions administration.

A lot of variables come into play when calculating commissions especially in large organizations. So it takes a lot of time. For instance commission's are only paid on transactions that have done full cycle.

No sales person gets commissions on credit sales. It is thus to the advantage of the sales person that he is given a little extra time for him to get his payments in.

And again it makes it easier to make payments the next month together with payroll.

You have a point.. But like you stated.. It varies.. In the finance firms I have worked.. Commission and bonuses are paid first or second week of the new month... One place I worked.. Ab microfinance bank pays theirs on 7th..addosser pays theirs on 10th..along with others I have worked.. All places I have worked.. Commissions have never exceeded 15th of the following month..

Did u go for this interview and how did it go?
