Boss is neglectful, confront or not?

I started an entry level salesperson position 2 months ago, I graduated college in late April, so this is my first full-time position ever. I’m getting used to the grind, I get along with basically all my coworkers, I enjoy my workspace and I enjoy what I do, so in general it’s fine, but the main issue is with my boss. I work in minor league baseball for reference. He is extremely neglectful, and there’s so many examples of it that I’m basically tired of already. Wasn’t trained in new CRM system for a whole month, asked him 6 times before he finally did, and he didn’t train me thoroughly enough. Had to ask 4 times to be put on call rotation for salespeople (really important to bring in call in groups). Got a call-in to purchase single tickets (I usually deal with bigger groups), so didn’t know how to…


I started an entry level salesperson position 2 months ago, I graduated college in late April, so this is my first full-time position ever. I’m getting used to the grind, I get along with basically all my coworkers, I enjoy my workspace and I enjoy what I do, so in general it’s fine, but the main issue is with my boss.

He is extremely neglectful, and there’s so many examples of it that I’m basically tired of already.

  • Wasn’t trained in new CRM system for a whole month, asked him 6 times before he finally did, and he didn’t train me thoroughly enough.
  • Had to ask 4 times to be put on call rotation for salespeople (really important to bring in call in groups).
  • Got a call-in to purchase single tickets (I usually deal with bigger groups), so didn’t know how to operate the single ticket CRM system due to no training, customer got angry at me, begged a coworker to save it for me.
  • We need walkie talkies for gameday communications, wasn’t given one and when I inquired he said “oh shit I forgot”. ????? Spent that week with no walkie talkie.
  • He invites the two other salespeople to 4 other networking events so far, I haven’t gotten one. I ask and he says “the next one for sure” every time.
  • Doesn’t tell me how to fill out a group contract, and when I’m on my first sales call with him watching he’s getting mad since I have no clue how to fill in the info properly as some of it requires algorithms.
  • Doesn’t tell me how to fill out season ticket contracts, just gives me a letter with a check and says fill out the contract, have to ask other salesperson to help me.

Also instances of being put down/disrespected.

  • Dirty looks whenever I pass him in office
  • Yelled at to “scan it!” (Tickets) in front of fans (biggest ever f*cking no no in sports, almost went off right there).
  • Told him I made my first sale off a cold call/prospect and he said “K” whilst rest of sales office congratulated me.

Really really annoyed at it and I’m wondering if I should just confront him when the seasons up to nip it in the bud, because I don’t want it to become any worse really than it is now. I don’t wanna quit or anything, I just want it to get better because everything else is enjoyable.
