Not What it Used to Be

Pros

The company is growing very fast and has great potential. I agree with the previous post that the co-workers and lower-level managers are awesome and always willing to help. If you are a self-starter who's willing to grind and make a ton of cold calls, work more than 9-5 or have some "ins" and connections in the financial industry I'd maybe recommend working here - not so sure anymore though.

Cons

The job has become increasingly worse over the past year. It's getting pretty frustrating because the expectations are constantly changing and usually pretty unrealistic. The problems are obvious but no one really wants to talk about them. In order to make real money you have to not only hit but exceed quota significantly. That used to be very do-able as long as you weren't afraid to work hard. Now you have to work really hard and get really luck because we just don't have as many people to sell to as we used to. There's great months and god awful months. A lot of more senior reps have either left for other companies or got fired bc they couldn't hit higher quotas and they just hire new salespeople with lower quotas because they are ramping.

Pros

The smaller teams all get along great, root for each other, and the overall team feel of things are fantastic.

Cons

Job was simply not what was promised when I interviewed. 90% cold prospecting, less than 25% of the floor hitting quota and managements reaction is to continue to feed help and better opportunities to the senior reps, and hiring new reps instead of investing in existing teams.
