Great Place to Work

Pros

Most generous commission plan that I have seen in the industry (and no cap), along with quarterly bonus and terrific benefits. The managed services and professional services practices are winning awards, and the company is diversifying outside of its historically strong Microsoft practice. Great local office spaces to work in, and management that is not over-bearing.

Cons

Base salaries are low compared to industry standards.

Pros

Great people, amazing culture with lots of upward mobility. Amazing career development with lots of great trips and incentives along the way.

Cons

Not a whole lot to offer here. Management sometimes asks sellers to go to market with products/ services for which the sales channels haven't been fully developed yet.

Pros

Culture, it's generally a young energetic company where most people are willing to pitch in and help. Generally a relaxed sales environment. Not very much pressure to hit your number every quarter. Medical benefits are superb (Canadian company). If you're newer to IT sales, it's a great place to get exposure to, and training on a lot of diverse technologies.

Cons

If you don't have pre- or post-sales engineers in your city, it's very difficult to make money...unless you've had your accounts for 5-10 years. Company is keeping to the fun/cheeky branding, which does not give customers a professional image, IMHO. Compensation is dismal, unless you've had your accounts for 5-10 years. Like usual VARs, it's heavily commission based. Unlike usual VARs, the base salary is below industry standard. There are other VARs who are better overall, and give a sales rep a better chance to make money.
