I had a discussion about this today, in the context of turnover. I know some companies do this and the thinking is this focus salespeople on selling as much as possible.
Beyond the obvious turnover concern, I don't like how it makes salespeople effectively become free agents, even when they are at least theoretically / technically employees.
