Pros

Incredible technology and software. Superior to competition

Cons

If you don’t get into a great division or location you’re not going to have a good time. It’s all about luck sadly. There are people who have been here for multiple years who are getting passed up for promotions over new people. It’s depressing to come to worm everyday knowing a new person is potentially making more $$$$ than you

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.
