Pros

Good Product Great for a sales position right of out college Can easily get hired elsewhere with a couple years experience Pretty good money

Cons

Micromanagement Upper management just does not listen Company culture sucks and is very boring Depending on what boss you have it can either be cool or a living hell Will find yourself saying "we don't have that" alot The company has hardly any trust for its salespeople

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.
