Pros

There is very in depth training where they teach you everything you need to know about the product you are selling. It is a great job if you don't mind traveling for the majority of the week. The is decent and good bonuses paid quarterly if you meet the goals.

Cons

During training they teach you everything product related and not a sales process. A lot of people come in without a sales background so just being thrown into the field, given goals, and expected to be successful is tough. The first few months are rough. They also don't tell you when they hire you that it is a lot of cold calling, the amount of traveling was not expected and they promise things that they don't deliver on.

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.
