Pros
The only pro would be the relationships I built with my business development counterparts.
Cons
Where to begin. Low pay for the position. Expectation to be working 24/7. Bad to no training for offshore and US sales teams. They trained the offshore team to beat on prospects, many times calling the same prospect 10 or more times a day. Commission was a joke. 1% for new business, .5% for existing. But it was up to management discretion as to whether you actually got anything and most times they find a way to keep it from you. Plus you have to wait a minimum of 3 months from the time you make a sale until you see any commission. And if you leave, you get nothing. Frantic management from the top down. Every day there was a new goal, a new agenda and a new panic. They rest on their partnership with IBM and have VERY LITTLE EXISTING BUSINESS. Name recognition is nonexistent and marketing is run by the owners kid who knows nothing about marketing. Look at the website and you'll see what I mean. Also the lying! So much lying in that place. Work life balance was nonexistent.
