      Pros

      Good salary and bonuses Extensive training at the beginning

      Cons

      Toxic japanese work culture - super hierarchical, overtime is a standard (kind of expected from you), constant micromanagement, you are never good enough for the managers, a lot of stress, Huge open space office with a depressing 90s design, The work system is so toxic that everybody is trying to find a workaround - faking data, being friends with the right people etc. Very bad relations between departments, constant negative commenting and blaming Requires a lot of non-sense travelling - normalizes having 50+ flights a year for 1-3 days business trips.

      Pros

      Great training program, and good mix of roles. You wear a lot of hats at this job which prepares you well for your career. Business and technically focused, and a real product expert type of role.

      Cons

      Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.

      Pros

      Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

      Cons

      Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
