Pros

This is an old school sales environment that focuses very heavily upon self generated prospecting. You are responsible for your book of business with very little oversight. It takes a good 6 months to get ramped up depending on activity level so be ready to live off of your salary for 6 mos. Great people to learn from and lots of opportunity to bring in additional revenue through partner relationships. A great company to build your sales acumen.

Cons

Low base salary in a market that is already saturated with competitors. Feels like selling a commodity rather than taking a consultative role with businesses.

Pros

uncapped commission and good onboarding/training if coming from out of industry

Cons

Since recent Paycor acquisition the company culture has shifted. Sales reps are motivated with fear tactics disguised as accountability. The strategy has become call any phone number that is in service just trying to get a voice on the other end, push through objections and attempt get an appointment that will be a no show. They would rather see a higher number of appointments set rather than quality meetings. This leads to appointments being set that are fake driving up the average and making leadership think they need more and more meetings to create pipeline. Leadership pushes you to work outside working ours like you are running your own business but in the end it's not your business.
