Pros

The training experience was absolutely top-notch. The amount of effort and not to mention money the company invests in their new employees is very rare within the industry. The job is very metric-driven, so what that implies is that the harder you work, the higher the yield. Try to be open-minded about the negative reviews here, obviously, the company has its cons, but so does every other company, this isn't a job where you can just sit back and perform the bare minimum and expect to receive the benefits.

Cons

The work day is relatively long. depending on your assignment territory, there can also be a lot of driving involved, but you can perceive that as a pro if you are someone who doesn't mind spending a lot of time on the road, especially when you are being paid by the mile.

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.
