Pros

Competitive salary for just graduated. Good products and training which makes job easier when going against competitors. Not even a single day with late pay date.

Cons

Change rules very often and apply to every generation. Its like being in high school the entire time, no parties, just the discipline of a teenage is demanded. If it is not written dont expect a promise to be fullfilled. They wont fire you but they will certainly drop your motivation if they are not interested in squeezing whats left of energy after 3-4 years. Its better economically for them to get a new unexperienced worker and pay him less than keeping an experienced worker. They believe in their system not in workers.

Great training program, and good mix of roles. You wear a lot of hats at this job which prepares you well for your career. Business and technically focused, and a real product expert type of role.

Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.

Pros

Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

Cons

Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
