Some department are treated unfairly

In the banking industry, marketers are exposed to sanctions that their levels in other units are not exposed to. Marketers receive 50% of their monthy pay if their customers credit facility goes bad. This can last for as long as it takes the customer to pay down on the facilty. If this practice is not stopped, marketers will be forced not to package credit facility.
