Pros

Strong sellers are able to execute the new fractional HR solution the company offers which equates to a handful of reps doing very well here. It consists of a proper sales cycle with real value add to your book of business as a lucrative offering. It's most advantageous to be on the Tech pod as these businesses are scaling more rapidly than other sectors. Most customers in your book are receptive to conversations surrounding cross-sell/upsell opportunities. This role offers strong job security amongst the ever-shifting landscape in tech.

Cons

Can improve processes/efficiency with integrations of systems. Role isn't properly defined which can lead to confusion amongst reps with less experience.

Pros

Not really anything. Managers leave you alone most of your day, not because they trust you but because of their incompetency

Cons

Most everything else. Quota is set up to make you fail and take home a smaller paycheck, colleagues are fired weekly, management doesn't have a grasp on reality, you force feed predatory trials to small businesses hoping they don't cancel for the sake of your quota. It's a bad place to work, You log off each day feeling a little more hollow than the last.
