Pros

Everything is provided for the job (car for unlimited private use, phone, laptop, sales strategy, agressive marketing) Smart, hard-working colleagues Proactive attitude everywhere Promote from within

Cons

Too much travel on the road (needlessly) Following the internal sales strategy is the hard, targets are often over-sized, some KPI is just useless or makes no sense to follow, just kills all your time Lots of lots of packing and unpacking of device (if you consider this job you really have to pay attention to its physical aspects) Poor work/life balance

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.
