Pros

Up until November of 2015, you really could make decent money in sales here. The comp plan was great. And nice spiffs too. All you had to do is work hard and sell. That's why I chose this place over others.

Cons

Stressful, metric driven call center environment. Mostly cold calling the same people over and over. Leads only given to a very few. The rest have to call the same lists that are just shuffled around to other reps the next month. It's really not a fun place to work. But the biggest con, and the reason I left, is that the comp plans change monthly, giving you no security at all. From the time I was recruited to time I hit the main sales floor, the comp plan was reduced by 91%! That's right, it went down by 91%! This went from a $100K per year sales job if you were good to a $45K a year job if you're lucky almost overnight.

Thank you for your feedback. Although I may not familiar with your particular situation, our sale representatives are incentivized based on their performance, which is a key component of a successful sales operation.Our compensation plans are performance-based and they do change as our employees ramp up and build their book of business. Monthly compensation targets may fluctuate based on individual performance. However, annual target compensation does not change.

Pros

Great pay and opportunity for advancement if you can get on the right projects that will succeed. For the most part I have the tech I need to do my job and my coworkers are really smart capable people who I learn from every day. I feel challenged in my work and that makes me feel engaged and interested in the problems I solve daily. Flexible vacation time and great benefits.

Cons

It can be incredibly chaotic at times, bordering on toxic. People are on edge and passing blame around like a hot potato. Hierarchy, power plays, and territorial politics create land mines for the unsuspecting on any given project— depending on your team or organization you’ll need to tread lightly to survive. They only hire in Austin right now, so any open roles seem to take a long time to fill, but the work still piles on.
