Pros

Great base for a sales role

Cons

The worst management you'll ever experience. They are not open to feedback - it's their way or the high way and if you ask for clarification it becomes you questioning their ability to do their job and you get chewed out. Even if you have several years of sales experience, this is a different kind of stress. So toxic, each day no matter how above quota you are, you wonder if you'll still have your job at the end of the day because of how quickly they fire employees who are hitting the mark. During the pandemic they literally increased their metric expectations...

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.
