Pros

You can dress the way you want Liked most coworkers You get plenty of exercise walking to and from your car Always new people to meet with the high turnover

Cons

Unrealistic goals Many mid and upper level managers never did the sales job they are now managing Constantly creating new levels of management The number of prospects you are given to call keeps shrinking Most prospects you call have already been called several times Your territory makes a big difference if you will succeed or not...not a level playing field Your office and building you work in is constantly changing...I moved 9 times in just under two years! I had four different managers during this same time period. If you sell a contract and they pay monthly, they pay you a twelfth of your commission for the next year. If you quit or get fired, they do not pay you the remaining amount of your commission...they are making thousands a month on the high amount of reps leaving. I had three different pay plans in the time I was there. Managers are no longer held to the same performance standards as the reps on their teams...many walk around all day talking, smoking, surfing the net, tossing balls around, and talking about how good they were when they were a rep. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
