Very rewarding career, if you work hard

Transition specialist representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good pay for college grads: Salary + Commissions + Car/Phone Allowance - Lots of travelling and working with smart, fun, and hard-working people - You will learn a lot about the payroll/HR software industry - You will grow a lot professionally working with a variety of businesses and speaking with many different company execs

Cons

- Work piles up fast and you can get stuck in repeat 60+ hour work weeks - Lots of finger-pointing and people avoiding blame when things go wrong. You will need to get good at defending yourself. - Lack of specialists with more-than-basic technical skill and attention to detail, need to explain what needs to be done very clearly and even then mistakes are made which you'll have to take blame for when the customer notices.

No Work-Life Balance

Executive sales representative

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Pay, Great Benefits and perks. Jeff York is a great VP of Sales! Great commission structure.

Cons

You are worked to the bone, high pressure both on you, and on your clients. The Sales Managers really differ from one to the next, I had a one that was a total work-a-holic, and expected the same. When you are doing well this is a great place, but if not it's extremely stressful. If you need outside sales experience you can get it here, but not a place for established sales people. The people that work for this organization are also very superficial, and are not very friendly. Also seems like management has no trust, they need to track every minute of your day. You are forced to come in before and after all appointments, no flexibility at all. Be prepared to never leave work behind, constant phone calls and texts from management late night and on the weekends. Can't have time off if you aren't 100% of plan. Can only be promoted if you are wiling to relocate.

Our commission structure is great and for that reason, we do have lofty expectations for our sales reps. Work-life balance is important to us. We strive to reach a cohesive relationship with everything we do as an organization. There are many seasoned sales professionals that prosper in our work environment; however, we realize the job isn't for everyone and we wish you the very best.
