Pros

- Honestly have no good words to say.

Cons

- Very toxic environment. - ZERO sick days. EXPECT to work on days off. - Transperfect acquired Trial Interactive (a startup company, thus a startup environment). - Workforce is bare minimum. 3 onshore. 3 offshore. BUT, lots of "senior" management. - No concept of teamwork. Co-workers are very insecure. - Too many deliverables and not enough resources. - Managers promise resources but never deliver - they hire interns and offshore instead.

Poor Management Team

Pros

Have to think about this.

Cons

Recruiter and management docked my salary negotiations because didn't have BA degree. My recruiting experience were not valued toward the salary. The manager and the director have different managing styles and as a result gave different directives and created hostile culture. Director does not understand what's going on within the team. Manager is very strict about attendance.

Pros

-Little micromanaging -ability to work with clients and colleagues globally -Great technology to sell -Global locations and production centers -Great marketing materials to leverage -Opportunity to travel -Ability to work with large corporations -Accruing PTO days

Cons

-No lead disbursement structure. Management takes any large incoming leads for themselves. -If you do get a lead they're usually a waste of time. -Extremely low pay for one of the toughest sales positions. -No account base, and you're in a draw. Meaning you have to pay your salary back before you make commissions. By the time you establish an account base (3+ years) you'll be so deep in your draw that you won't see any commissions for 8-10 months. -Competitors pay base + commissions + bonuses, so I recommend going elsewhere, don't waste your time here -VERY competitive market. Hundreds of other providers out there -Two different CRMs, so reps call each other's leads/clients all the time -CEO's are in litigation and are spending millions on legal fees. They could care less about their suffering underpaid employees -You're required to do your own collections. Most clients don't pay on time. -You don't get "commissions" until the clients pay. While you wait for payment, you fall deeper into your draw -No consistent training -Morale seems to be low in production. They're overworked and underpaid -Extremely long sales cycle
