Pros

Good market fit, low hours for sales

Cons

Cyclicality in the space due to customer timing, Massive quotas ($2M+) with low commissions (2.5-3.5%) and very convoluted pay structures. Attainment broadly based on landing massive deals that cannot be counted on given the segment's mixture of SMB/MM accounts. You can be talking to a borderline enterprise company and next meeting with a solo practitioner. You aren't going to sell $2M by talking to people who have $5k to spend and it sucks essentially being required to throw them to the side because you can't spend time on them and still hit your numbers.

Pros

Plenty of wonderful benefits and the most competitive parental leave I have found in the US job market

Cons

Depending on the organization you work within, you could be working for leadership that expects sales reps to smooth over and fix every single mistake that is made. A lot of these mistakes are because they haven't yet recovered from acquiring new companies and they haven't absorbed CRMs and data correctly. There are many different teams to work with to get the simplest projects done. It feels like the companies values are really in place because they expect the employees to take responsibility for their lack of systems in place supporting them.
