Pros

Great company to work for with amazing people. Sales managers and wider team are incredibly supportive and great to work with. Metrics and KPIs not too strict compared to other sales companies. Depending on which patch you have you can do extremely well in your commission with many hitting 150-200% each quarter with normal 9-5 working hours.

Cons

Flip-side of making loads of commission is if your are assigned a difficult industry or patch you can really struggle to even hit target. Unfortunately the Rules of Engagement (ROE) and recent Quotas have increased making it very difficult/impossible for some to hit target. This is a huge issue which has been easily proven as a territory problem and not a skill issue with the employees as when employees moved patch, their performance was directly correlated with their territory. High turnover rate due to very limited promotions available (Could also been seen as a positive thing as AE's typically dont move on from Workday once they join)
