Pros

In the past, good earning potential. Now just the fact that you’ll work from a home office.

Cons

Territories keep getting cut while quota and expectations keep increasing. All that I and most good sales people could live with, however the massive amounts of micro managing, recording calls during telemarketing sessions, repetitive rapports and spreadsheets not so much. Don’t let them fool you with with trickery talking about “our top reps last year made a million bucks” although it is true, it is virtually impossible as a newcomer because of the way holdouts and territories work.

Pros

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

The pay is decent compared to the market and the tech is solid.

Cons

The company is abandoning their strategy of "partner first" and is doing their best to become a worse version of Paychex/ADP... Every decision that comes from the top seems so disconnected with reality. Turnover is a huge problem. In just 12 months I've had turnover in my director, channel partner managers, channel support, partner services, RVP, SDR, and more. It's impossible to get anything done when every position around you is a revolving door. Everyone I speak with across lines of business has a similar story. It is a mess across the entire org.
