Pros

Excellent benefits, performance bonuses at least annually, and regular pay increases. Recently a COL adjustment was made resulting in a ~15% increase in pay for myself, which was shocking and a very pleasant surprise!

Cons

Sales will never stop selling, and your book of business or responsibilities will grow beyond what you can reasonably handle, and what HR can do to hire more employees. Managers are sympathetic towards this but metrics rule all, and they need to be maintained.

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

Pros

Remote work is a plus. Collaboration from peers is more plus than minus. Documentation of business technology was great for the most part.

Cons

Worse holiday observance company I ever worked for. Pay is low for what is asked. Work/life balance was good until 2025. Mid-level leadership and above is not ideal. I had little guidance when I started so, especially from manager so had to figure things out with help of peers.
