Pros

great benefits. fun to work with customers. fast paced. unlimited income potential for self-motivated people.

Cons

local managers sometimes waste reps time doing things that look good on paper but in reality are demotivating, demoralizing and costly in terms of valuable selling time (i think they forget (or dont care) that we work on commission). when things dont go as well as upper management expects, usually due to local mgrs poorly thought out plan, they do stuff like Call Night (unproductive! i dont need to come into the office to cold call along with 20 other reps from 4:30-5:30 c'mon, its 5pm i'm tired...i've been selling all day, and now I get to sit in rush hour traffic and get home even later and then do my paperwork for the day...can you say monster.com) Or come in at the end of the day to discuss collections with your manager...come in???? cant we call in during our drive time...hello, i'm not 13!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros

Incredible upside and earning potential! If you consider yourself a top performer, you will earn the money you deserve here.

Cons

It's a hard job. Lot's of rejection and grinding. Can be difficult and somewhat isolating being alone in a territory.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
