Salary gap for Inside Sales Rep
Pros
Fast Junior level growth from BDR to Inside Sales and Field sales. Once successful within the BDC org, with proper networking and results, it’s easier to use the BDC role as a platform and choose your best path forward (marketing, IT, sales). I was promoted quickly from a BDC to Inside Sales Rep. There are some great leaders in the company who truly care about others and their success. World class sales training program and plenty of good people. The 12 week training is perfect for those shifting from college into the workforce.
Cons
I worked in the public sector organization. The women on the team made $19000 less base salary than the men on the team. ($52500 versus $71000 approx). Total commission 2-3% on deals worth from $1-$250000). With other factors such as tenure, experience, and average age of the team considered, I still found this to be a striking difference in pay. Another note, Oracle always will pay a higher base to those hired externally at the Inside Sales level and up (about 15-20%). Also, the products/services don’t always work.
