Pros

You will learn more in the time you are here than almost any other company you go to. Drink the koolaid, learn from the vets, be eager to gain knowledge and it will come. I made ok money there. If you are in sales it is possible to hit big numbers but the reality is you are going to make 1-4k a month in commission. In biz dev you are looking at 500-2000 in commission if you are really good. But if you come to work here, come to learn, to grow as a sales person. Stay for a year or two and then branch out. Unless you have it made there you will work hard, very hard. The effort you put in is truly in your paycheck

Cons

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TRUST MANAGEMENT! By this I mean do not tell management anything personal. They will use it against you. If you are thinking of looking for a new job do not let them find out or you will be fired. There is a culture of brown nosing and some managers whom I will not name will go out of their way to report to the CEO to gain some points. Its alot like high school. You can learn alot if you pay attention but watch the crowd you hang with because the principal is always watching

I look at the tons of positive reviews here in Glassdoor, with the vast majority claiming that the Leadership here has changed their life, and I wonder where we went wrong? Yes, you can make good money. There’s nothing easy in this world though and to take some of your own words..”if you come to work here, come to learn, to grow as a salesperson.” Part of the process that most are searching for in a company, is that of an organization that continues to challenge our team both personally and professionally. In our experience if you are not willing to change, we can’t make you. Sounds like we dropped the ball and shouldn’t have pushed you so hard. “No pressure, no diamonds” – Thomas Carlyle. We hope you find what you are looking for and wish you nothing but success. Remember the lessons learned here, because history all too often repeats itself.

Pros

StormWind is a fast-paced sales environment that really pushes you to grow quickly, especially early in your career. It gives you a lot of real-world reps on the phone, which helps build confidence, resilience, and the ability to handle rejection. You learn how to structure conversations, stay consistent with outreach, and manage your activity using tools like Salesforce. While it can be intense, the experience forces you to develop discipline and sharpen your communication skills in a short amount of time. It’s a strong place to build a foundation in sales and gain experience that can open doors to other opportunities.

Cons

StormWind can feel very fast-paced and sometimes rushed, especially during training and onboarding, which can make it difficult to fully grasp the product and feel confident early on. The role is heavily call-driven and structured, which may not suit people who prefer more in-person interaction or a less repetitive day-to-day. There can also be a disconnect when speaking with highly technical clients, especially if you’re still learning the material, which can make conversations feel unnatural at times. Additionally, the culture may not be a fit for everyone, as it can feel isolating if you don’t naturally connect with the team dynamic.
