Pros

The benefits are good. Oh, and I've made some good friends because we feel like we're in the war zone and of course you'll bond with people when everyone is so stressed and overworked. Otherwise, there is nothing. This position is so far from what I was told when interviewing. The training process was very intensive but thorough -- it was also completely unrealistic. They should have just taught us the copy codes, etc. and said, "You will get beaten up by your customers every day. No one likes this product. You'll be lucky to renew 50% of your accounts."

Cons

They are always screwing with the pay plan (cut the base by 40% weeks after my hire date); we are micro-managed to the nth degree; we're constantly being taken out of our territories for stupid meetings that run far too long; the customers and general public don't think much of the company; we are collectors in addition to sales reps or our commissions will be taken back. They talk a lot about integrity but the way to succeed is to be a fast talking swindler who gladly stabs other reps in the back to get the precious new business.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
