Pros
- Start-up culture allows you to observe with some transparency into the gears of the organization
- They invest in user-friendly software to make you life easier: inter-office communication apps, administrative apps, and organizational tools
- Relaxed dress code and casual culture makes being on the phones comfortable
- Enjoy a pint at the end of the day
- The sales team is comprised of fun, energetic, and competitive people
- Company offers fair compensation for self-generated sales (you eat what you kill)
- Benefits, free coffee, and occasional company outings
Cons
- There is not much training for new hires as it is pretty much 'hit the ground running 'mentality on the sales floor.
- Parking is a disaster (invest in a parking garage or be the first one to the meter each morning)
- There is a low ceiling on how much money you can make as an account executive (don't expect to get rich)
- The company culture that was once worth the lower pay has been lost
- In sales you are only as good as your last week here and termination without any warning is very common
