      Remote work is a plus, but pay is way low

      Small business payroll representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Literally just being able to work fully remote, but not much else

      Cons

      Pay is ridiculously low for the expected effort and tasks needed to handle client sales and after sales nurturement. About 1/3 of sales team ever hits the monthly quota. You get 13% commissions of deal size which typical deal size is anywhere from $700-$1500, 13% of that is less than $200 gross for huge amount of work load per deal for the client to just end up canceling and commissions gets clawed back.

      Positive environment with strong career potential, but fast-paced

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

      Cons

      Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.
