Pros

I love planning my day and route around the city and engaging with customers.

Cons

It really takes a toll on your vehicle and you have to sit for long periods of time every day.

Pros

Lots of really smart people at the company and lots of interesting problems to work on.

Cons

Leadership across the levels was pretty awful. Managers just let BS slide downhill without trying to find ways to remove obstacles. Sales is a tough job and isn't made any easier when the product is glitchy.

Pros

great culture and work-life balance. everyone works collaboratively

Cons

limited upward mobility. you might get the highest rating on the perf review (top 5%) but still not be granted a promotion because you need to show performance at the next level for more than a year; which is unfair because you might not get opportunities to do "next level" work, it will depend a lot on your manager not on you.
