Don’t work here. There are better entry level sales jobs.
Pros
- Good people up to middle management. Beyond that, everyone is a corporate blowhard who could not care less about you. - Free beer.
Cons
- Cringey “fun startup” atmosphere and “gamification of work” to distract you from the fact that you work in a cold call sweatshop. - Unlike other sales jobs, you do very little research or prospecting on leads. Quality of prospects matters very little. All they care about is that you hit your 130 dials for the day. It quickly makes your day to day work feel exceedingly pointless. - Aside from the cold calling, little applicable skills to other sales roles. They do not use Zoom Info, Outlook, Sales Loft etc., but a software the CEO developed with a crappy UI and constant glitches. - Upper management talks to the sales team like it’s wolf of Wall Street. Just know, you’re a cog in their machine. They’ll forget your name the day you walk out. - The CEO forces the entire company to attend a monthly meeting where goals and future endeavors are discussed. It’s ironic, because 90% of the sales team will be gone by the next quarter. Why buy into your vision when you’ve set your employment model up so poorly? - Despite what they tell you in training, this is just a marketing software. Your job is pestering professionals over a marketing gimmick. That’s it. - Dad died? Still gotta hit your quota. Been hitting your quota but missing your KPIs? They’ll fire you without notice. Both of these things happened to coworkers of mine.
