Pros

Training is exceptional and every resource you need to be successful is at your fingertips. You are rewarded for a job well done with recognition, awards, trips, and extraordinary earning potential.

Cons

Your direct manager can make or break you. You can be either be micro-managed or receive little support neither of which are positive. Basically if you hit winners circle 2 years in a row you can move into management. Successful sales reps do not always make successful managers. At times it can feel a bit like a big frat/sorority house. Territories are not fairly balanced and growth opportunities with brand new accounts is not divided fairly. You are trained to be very strategic and conduct a solution sale, but bottom line is it is very transnational.

Pros

Totally remote and the hours that you work can be flexible. The other designers are very friendly and willing to help you out when solving problems. The company provides you with equipment to work with. They also forbid the use of AI in their presentations with is extremely respectable.

Cons

You are paid based on billable hours. Management is strict about how much time you spend on each project, but you also have to make sure to meet a quota of billable hours each week. It can be hard to find a balance and the time counting down while working is stressful.
