Pros
Can only speak for sales here but if you read a bad review from someone that joined the sales team and did not succeed, it is most likely because sales just wasn't for them or they did not do what was needed to get the job done. I have been here for a few years and have seen many people come and go but the one's who followed the script, listened to the great trainers and leaders within this organization, dedicated the time to perfect their craft, and ultimate treated this like their own business (because that is what sales is - you either do what you need to do to succeed or you just go through the motions and point fingers elsewhere but yourself), these people are the one's who make $$, have a VERY healthy work/personal life balance, come in with a smile every day, and ultimately love their job. Trust me, sales is NOT for everyone, but for someone looking to get into sales and shy away because of some of the negative reviews here, don't worry about them, they just didn't treat this as their own business and sales wasn't right for them. Sales isn't easy, but the platform here will give you everything you need to succeed not only at this company but when you decide to move elsewhere. Plus they lay out exactly what is expected from you in the interview in order for you to succeed - so the folks saying it was 'too much work' obviously didn't get the memo that as a salesman you work on base + commission and after they get laid off because they didn't do what was expected they point fingers and blame others when they should blame themselves. This is a great organization with great people and I would recommend anyone here to join the sales team....that is if you are willing to put in the time and want to make $$.
Cons
It may take a few weeks to get your feet wet with the sales process and getting your sales leads up and running, but that ramp up time is the same anywhere you go. Simple put, you put in the time and effort, you will succeed.
