Pros

The role is fully remote

Cons

Low base salary Complicated commission structure-- they literally use the most complicated Excel sheet to figure out commission (crazy for a corporate company) CRM is not managed well, bad information, disorganized. Lots of politics, you sell a deal and it gets taken away from you by tenured reps. Systems are slow, antiquated and make the job harder than it needs to be, Training was lackluster.

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.
