      Employees are disposable and interchangeable Culture has taken a nose dive over past 3 years Many of the long time employees and leaders have already left. Expectations are not in line with reality Income is low compared to similar companies Senior leadership isn’t trustworthy

      Pros

      Technical delivery people are good, sales and management are awful.

      Cons

      A pure sales-lead organization that does not value their technical resources. Better in Canada but US is very badly ran. West coast is best location only because of some of the people out there. East coast is a complete cluster of people managing things.

      There's always pros and cons in sales

      Pros

      The training was phenomenal and gratuitous. They fly you out to Toronto for 4 weeks, give you a daily allowance, pay for travel, put you up in the hotel connected to the Blue Jays stadium and go as far as to dish out the biweekly paycheck twice while you vacation and train in Canada. There are always free catered lunches and frequent vendor engagements that occasionally include happy hours. The sales team are a welcoming, fun group to spend 40+ hours per week with. The office has ping pong, vending machines, basketball, corn hole etc. The company has an open pet policy for dogs and provides gym access, sales incentives, and a monthly beer cart tradition.

      Cons

      This is not for everyone. This is a difficult business and the learning curve is always expanding and growing in complexity. Following the intense training in The Toronto office, there isn't much direction provided by management. You are basically thrown to the wolves and expected to fail until you get it right. The training manager is unorganized and is constantly sending, rescinding, resending calendar invites for meetings that might not even happen, yet my email rarely received any response. Most of the required training materials that we were supposed to be equipped with were not sent out by management until 10 weeks later. The sales resources ranged anywhere from Vendor/Distribution contacts, sales promos, reasons to call prospects, messaging strategies, marketing Slicks, role playing, objection handling, systems and much more.
