Pros

Commission structure is aggressive allowing high earning potential Training is thorough and helpful

Cons

No traditional ramp period and high turnover I’ve seen multiple reps get hired and fired within a couple weeks for not hitting meeting metrics Public Company with many outdated processes (frequently assigned non revenue generating tasks with strict deadlines) and systems (inhouse crm) Implementation can be a pain point. A separate team handles implementation. If there are delays in data collection you will not receive commission for an additional 6 months and the revenue is removed from quota attainment. There are numerous examples of reps that closed enough revenue to make presidents club but ended up on a performance plan due to failed implementations that were out of there control. Culture seems behind the times. You are expected to be in a full suit and tie at all times, whether in the office or meeting with a construction company. Management’s opinion of you can change at any point in time. If you are no longer in their good grace's it’s nearly impossible to keep your job

Pros

- training that will improve your skill - become better at fear management (fight mode is real)

Cons

- you will be threated to be fired- many many times (even if you work extremely hard) - your hard work is not valued- unreasonable expectations - there is not benchmark of success- goal always moves out of reach - no support, managers are more worried about not being fired than helping you
