Pros

Free headphones when you join

Cons

You’re oversold on the onboarding process during the interview stage. No support provided. You’re given a book of 90 accounts that have been prospected into by the last 3 account executives who prospected into those accounts for the 6-9 months they worked there.

Pros

Great product, in-person office atmosphere is very good, great learning opportunity for someone newly stepping into first sales role from previous SDR position

Cons

Ran through sales account patches, below average base pay for role vs. rest of industry, can be a bit of a pressure cooker at times, high turnover
