Business Outlook

Pros

Work/Life Balance. Remote culture and great support for remote employees.

Cons

Some reps killed it, others struggled. Certain territories were a revolving door, ripping and replacing a competitor takes a lot of work and a long time to do effectively...quotas were designed without consideration for the type of accounts in each territory, so the pure hunter/net new territories would inevitably struggle (ie. not generate much on the commission front).
