Pros
The free food is good and they offer benefits for full-time employees. The office is the 1st floor of a brand new building for another company that occupies the upper four floors.
Cons
Job Seekers for Sales, be warned the commission structure is not in your favor. They hold 65% of the commission per deal from you until the account managers "activate" your account. If the account manager fails to do so, you will lose the 65% of your commission that was withheld. You are placed in a catch 22 where management is continually demanding more new deals; however, they're also saying that if you don't want to lose your withheld commission, (due to the account manager in another department not doing their job), you should do the account managers' job for them, thereby earning the Account managers bonuses and you the other 65% of your commission, but this uses valuable time and you are unable to generate new deals. The Sales process is convoluted. You're required to cold call and bring a lead from open to closed/won and that's pretty standard. What is not known by most new hires is that Sales has an "On-boarding" phase where (even though you have closed a deal with signed contract in hand) are responsible for a number of things involving getting the account integrated into the company. It is completely after the Sales Process has ended and devours time to get new deals and earn money. Ultimately, the on-boarding criteria are so stringent it is borderline impossible to not have multiple closed/won deals cancelled each month due to hidden and uncontrollable circumstances. In summary, I warn anyone who is considering applying or in the interview process. This is not a job built around sales success. You will be shocked when, (if you decided to accept a job offer) everything I have written in this review is true and not at all what you expected or were told in the recruiting process. If you are a skilled Sales professional, continue looking elsewhere. This place is a wolf in Sheep's clothing.
