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.

Pros

Autonomy & Independence: You get great autonomy to build your own schedule. It operates very much like a true field sales motion, which is great if you value independence. Perks: There is a high degree of expense freedom, and the Sales Kickoffs are a definite highlight.

Cons

The company is currently gasping for air and is super misaligned. There is absolutely no sense of direction. The Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy obviously doesn't work because leadership changes strategy it every Half because of poor performance . Turnover is INCREDIBLY HIGH, people was congratulating me that I made it at Darktrace more than a year when I left, which is never a good sign for a company. CEO REPVUE- stated that only 15% of reps hit their goal attainment at Darktrace from it's reviews. If you apply here, you need to know exactly what you are getting into and be willing to work extremely hard just to help dig the company out of a hole.
