Pros

Work hard, follow the process and you can be wildly successful. You truly can impact companies in huge ways 7 figure compensation is within your reach if your good Growth potential is huge They love to promote from within the culture in each office is like family each day is a challenge, but if you can master the training and soak everything up like a sponge your knowledge accumulates and gives you an advantage in every new opportunity you get yourself into If you aren't incredibly driven this may not be for you, but if you understand the sales industry and are willing to grind especially hard when you are getting started, the opportunities are endless

Cons

not for the feint of heart, you have to work hard, put yourself out there, be strategic, be efficient with your time, spend time learning outside of regular business hours through a plethora of training provided on the products, how to analyze, industry backgrounds, et. If you aren't incredibly driven this may not be for you, but if you understand the sales industry and are willing to grind especially hard when you are getting started, the opportunities are endless Most sales reps work long hours, but some have mastered their craft and achieve an impressive work life balance, but it isn't easy.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
