Pros

The accelerators make up for the low base (I guess is a pro). Colleagues on teams are a great resource in help.

Cons

Upper Leadership within the Commercial Org. Expectations are increasing. Problem is less than half of the Commercial Org reps are hitting their quotas (ask specifically about fully ramped reps to quota attainment in Q3 and prior). They may have "lowered" one month, but the overall quarter expectation was an uptick from the previous. They are throwing headcount at increasing target attainment. A lofty target attainment. you are just a number towards the overall picture of hitting a targeted plan for the segment as a whole. Performance metrics are based on 2 month rolling average and 6 month percent averages. Not much weight to past performances, all what have you done for me lately. 2 month rolling avg on quarter by quarter quotas is nagging unnecessary stress. Very granular. PTO is contingent on the time you take it. They advise against end of months, end of quarters. PTO can be revoked based upon where you're at performance wise. There's no quota relief regardless of why it is that you're out of office. It's not "Unlimited" Database for prospecting is disastrous. You spend so much time cross referencing legitimacy of accounts when prospecting. You provide examples but nothing has really changed with this. Internal processes can be a huge time suck.

Good Pay Bad Leads

Pros

The pay is good and my teammates are some amazing people. The culture is very inclusive.

Cons

They keep raising quota with no influx in marketing leads or quality accounts to call. They love saying we are growing to hire more SDRs to pass along leads. If you are a lucky AE you might get one a month. I haven’t gotten a marketing lead in months despite them hiring more marketing executives. When prospecting for potential new accounts be prepared to sort through 30+ before you find one you can work. The rest will be out of business companies or numbers that don’t work. And when you find one that works you better hope they have a specific amount of vehicles or you’ll have to pass it to another team.
