Pros

Ability to work from home with a virtual office. Hours can be flexible and the benefits are great. Bonus potentials are good and expectatios are fair. A nice portfolio of products to sell and the company seems to be making smart decisions to grow in the right direction with more digital products as the printed phone books are in obvious decline. I love my job and have been with the company over 10 years. Management is good and i am very happy with my income potential. We have a great team and everyone supports everyone. They give you laptops, ipads with internet a base salary, commision and basic expenses with nice quarterly bonus potentials

Cons

More and more details and follow up are required with this job. Experiencing some very real transition changes that can be frustrating. Training is all virtual so you must teach yourself for the most part. Quarterly goals are an absolute so you MUST hit them. There has been a lot of turnover primarily from those not hitting there goals as they are very much attainable but you have to put in the work. Virtual is good but since all the local office closed it can be a little lonely and you must be able to work on your on...solve your own problems and keep yourself motivated. Expenses like customer lunches are not paid. Reversals and chargebacks are never fun

Pros

reat place to work! They truly care about their employees and create an environment where people feel supported and valued. The managers are amazing—they encourage you, challenge you, and push you every day to grow and succeed. It’s a team that genuinely wants to see you win.

Cons

I would recommend doing a little more research and qualification before passing leads over to the reps. Some leads are labeled as ‘hot,’ but after speaking with them, they often don’t have the urgency, need, or buying intent expected. A stronger qualification process would help the sales team focus their time on opportunities that are truly ready to move forward.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
