Pros

Excellent benefits and continuing to get even better Excellent pay Consistent opportunities where working hard is rewarded Clear company focus

Cons

High standards of excellence - the standards for performance are high and for many this can create pressure/stress. But if you are working hard and achieving those expectations the opportunities are endless and you will be rewarded.

Pros

The role offers a large base salary. Experience in each part of the sales process.

Cons

Work life balance is non existent, you are not really given a "ramp" period, current employees describe the culture as "survival of the fittest," a former colleague said "If you're the kind of person that wants to work so that you can live your life, rather than live your life each day to work- you probably don't belong here," expected to be in your territory in person regardless of where it is by 8 and not leave to travel home until after 5, the role is 3 in 1 because you're an SDR, Solutions Demonstrator, and AE (spreading yourself thin in skillset), likely the worst culture you will ever encounter. They recently changed the expense policy so you are traveling in your own vehicle on your own dollar and your meals are on your own dollar as well.
