Pros

Great people, fun environment, good entry level sales job

Cons

Very low pay compared to market. Rather than hire qualified folks, this company will hire anyone for sales who will work for 25k a year base knowing 90% will be gone before their first year. No career path, and if you’re female, good luck being promoted… even if you’ve already doing the job you applied for - sales is a boys’ club. Sales enablement is terrible - antiquated “hard close” techniques are all that is taught, and no prospecting techniques except cold calling will count toward your metrics. No established value selling sales process (MEDDIC, etc) to speak of. This job was most valuable as a primer in what *doesn’t* work in solution selling.
