Pros

Met some very intelligent people along the way

Cons

I had some good experiences at darktrace but I had an overwhelming amount of terrible ones. There’s way too many cons to list them all but here are a couple: No training (directors and managers, “do better” is not helpful) No true mentorship See you purely as a number; they definitely do not value you as an employee be sure to get all of your expenses prior to quitting; they will not give it back to you or they will cut you short. I should’ve known better.. If I were you, I’d go elsewhere :)

Pros

Certainly a high turnover rate, as expected in any sales role, but the core group that I started with and those who have come after have solidified a fantastic culture that management is supporting throughout this time of growth within the company and at this location specifically as we've transitioned into a very nice new office. - Fantastic location - Really good benefits (PTO, 401k, paid travel, paid breakfast & catered lunches once every week, holiday parties & team outings) - Management that will always have your back & genuinely cares about your happiness/development - Thought it's not very common due to turnover rate, there genuinely are advancement opportunities within the company - Work/life balance is very good - Compensation is above average for an entry-level sales role - 10-15k in commission annually is very attainable - Office manager will make your day. Every day. - Fun, cooperative culture - Very cool products that are easy to explain/understand

Cons

The work isn't rewarding, no. Very repetitive tasks and responsibilities, if you let it get to you and get complacent you will get very discouraged and annoyed coming to work each day. The trick is to make friends, focus on the positive and actually try your best and the results will not only keep the $$ coming in, but will keep you happy until you move on to another role/company.
