Pros

Great training, good products, interesting job when in the field, pretty good starting pay, the experience will make you a valuable employee somewhere else when you burn out.

Cons

micromanagement, bad atmosphere in the office, no flexibility in the rules, ex: late if you arrive at 7:31am, even if you worked until 11pm the previous day. 50-70hr work week, advancement opportunities can be very limited, high turn-over, HR department seems to favor management over employees and can't be trusted with confidential information

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.
