Pros

The benefits are good and the pay starts out fair.

Cons

There simply isn't enough space to say how bad this company is to it's employees. Management has a plan of the week. Yelling is a big part of the managements way to deal with declining sales, outdated products and many other problems found internally. .Corporate office mistakes lead to many many problems for the sales staff. Incorrect billing is a particular nightmare. SEM support for customer is dismal. Sales staff are being fired weekly as the downward spiral continues. A new sales approach was tried and failed. Now the company, at least from the inside, seems to be in serious trouble. And sales people are losing large amounts of BASE pay for not meeting sales. Vacation time is cancelled at managers whim. Most of the management is still in the mindset of yellow page ads, and have no idea about current digital marketing. Yes they are trained, but it is not their default thinking. As a result, sales suffer. Run..... At this time...this job is a nightmare.

Pros

Incredible upside and earning potential! If you consider yourself a top performer, you will earn the money you deserve here.

Cons

It's a hard job. Lot's of rejection and grinding. Can be difficult and somewhat isolating being alone in a territory.

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.
