      Pros

      Good pay, excellent training and initial investment, great products. If you're offered this job right out of college, take it and bust it for 2 years. Then reevaluate.

      Cons

      So much of your success depends on your assigned territory and product line. Highly structured and analytics-based so they have effective strategies but it can feel like you're hitting metrics for the sake of hitting them. Not interested in retaining the majority of their people past year 3, so the promotion structure is designed to phase people out by then. Conferences take place on weekends twice a year because it doesn't cost a sales day.

      Pros

      Great training program, and good mix of roles. You wear a lot of hats at this job which prepares you well for your career. Business and technically focused, and a real product expert type of role.

      Cons

      Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.

      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.
