Pros

People who work here genuinely want to do well. They are "all in" on their commitment. The products are really good, not terribly complex, but definitely do what they say they will. They are essentially tools. People want to buy the products and would buy more if given time.

Cons

This could be the best job in Cork if the CEO and his henchmen would let the customer buy within a reasonable timeframe. I do not say when they want, this is sales, your job is to close deals fast and profitably. But threatening customers takes it too far. If you want to learn the skills of software sales this is not the place. If you want to learn how to sell at any price, then its fine.

Pros

Great compensation plan, Terrific technology your prospects WANT to purchase.

Cons

At the time, the territories would change every quarter. This did encourage quick closure, and the thought was "win some/lose some" with deals that were then sent over to the new rep. Sadly, I lost more than I won (like to think it was because I teed more up than most). I did not like the lack of ongoing customer relationships.
