Pros
I have been in sales for many years and have experienced both the good and the bad. Act-On is one of the best places I have worked. They work long hours and there is always a focus on hitting your numbers and working hard. But along with that, they treat you with respect and reward you for your efforts. Rewards include nice paychecks, bonuses, trips, and options. I knew going into sales that it would be a grind, but that doesn't scare me AS LONG AS I GET PAID! I have seen negative reviews on here about the hours and the stress. I work long hours, not because they MAKE ME, but because I am the type of person that will do whatever it takes to exceed my quota and make that money. The environment and people that I work with are awesome. Free food, ping pong, and incentives make it a great place to work.
Cons
Again, the hours can be long and there are days when I feel like I am winning, and others when I feel like I am not. I have to remember that there will be ups and downs, but that is what big boy sales is all about. It is a roller coaster, but as long as you win more than you lose you will be successful. It is not a job for the 8-5 time clock guy. There will also be times when I need to be doing things from home. I wish I had more of a work-life balance, but overall I am happy.
