Pros

-Remote position offering a lot of flexibility -Commissions were decent -You can make it decently if you've been in the industry for a long time and have a wide base of relationships to rely upon to sell

Cons

-Stove piped organization, the left foot has no idea what the right foot is doing -Apathy. Most colleagues in support staff or even other sales departments could care less if you lose the business, at the end of the day they are still getting a paycheck -Upper management hasn't sold anything in two decades and is out of touch with the challenges their salespeople face -Product. This product is getting killed by the competition, businesses need a more robust solution so you are forced to go after very small companies only -Internal tech/processes. In order to bring in a deal you have to jump through a series of flaming hoops with zero help. These things are automated in other organizations but it's all old school paper here. You're expected to waste a lot of your time updating a CRM that does nothing to help a salesperson it is just there to help back office folks manage operations.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
