Pros

Good training Good enablement Decent place to begin your career

Cons

Bad leadership Micro management Expectations exceed the ability to make money because you’re capped at 100 accounts 125k OTE is very unrealistic Aside for a handful of outliers CAE’s don’t do well Constant push for activity except you’re called at 100 accounts and you’re angering off the same people over and over again
