Pros

- everyone is low key and honest - no games - always make changes for the betterment of their people. This is a place where if you have an issue, they do something about it; and a place where higher ups are taken to task about the sales team not getting paid enough. They want us to succeed - commission just went up a significant amount, a change that was just implemented this quarter - raised hotel and flight limits to better accommodate us - great team work -- profit sharing was a great idea - people are intelligent and treat you the same. Mutual respect and honestly - open door policy -- and they mean it - easy to motivate yourself - great for number oriented people - challenges your mind in exciting ways - 3 entirely different career paths - work with amazing customers -- like NASA

Cons

- they work you hard, and you will put in some OT, but I love it, so that doesn't matter to me. For others, it does. - none so far. They have completely reasonable expectations and are encouraging and fun to work with

Pros

Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

Cons

Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
