Pros
-The Recruiting side of the house is a great gig - less money, but fulfilling work interacting with Veterans on a regular basis. Some really solid employees on this side of the house as well. -Sales side provides solid, grunt sales experience with lots of painful cold calling and pipeline development that allows you to know what that real sales is like for future leadership positions. -Provides a lot of exposure to multiple industries that will help you decide where your real career should start. -CEO seems to have a good head on his shoulders, but upper and mid-level leadership is disconnected from that vision and failing to execute it, so the experience that "could be" is lost in the delegation. -There is some decent money to be made after the fist 9 months, but you will have to grind and fight for every dollar of it.
Cons
-The Sales side of the house is a Casserole of Confusion. Rules of Engagement and account distribution favor tenured Account Executives (AEs). There seems to be a solid turn over of new AEs and this cycle allows senior AEs to scoop up any accounts that were developed by new AEs that turn tail after one year (and there are a lot of them). - When you find the company you really want to work at, Orion WILL invoice that company for hiring you and that invoice will make your first few weeks SUPER akward with senior leadership and HR/Recruiting. Especially when you are trying to explain why you are worth $10k+. -Sales Pipeline is SUPER long and you're not payed until the candidate sticks for months. Lots of drops and dreams of money that is never going to show up cause it takes 6 months to process and get paid. Unlimited factors out of your control on whether or not you get paid. -Flat organization with VERY little promotional paths. You NEED to be able to take your fulfillment from any money you can get. -Truthfully, the Sales Leadership seems to be a bunch of failed Military Officers that have not worked in a real corporate environment. Pure military leadership does not work in civilian life, but they are sure trying to make it. -Lastly, there is little training and mentorship. Swim hard cause they will let you drown.
