Pros

I personally have a supportive and great manager, so this makes me work much less stressful.

Cons

Everything is about AI right now. Metrics are a hot topic, and while they've always been central to our success in the role, there is an over emphasis on them recently, which is resulting in more stress than usual. More specifically when there are more factors out of our control, than within. They unfortunately due tend to underpay here. If you move internally, please do not expect a salary that reflects market trends or standards. External hires will receive a 30% increase in salary, while an internal promotion, same year of experience, will get 10%. Just the way things are I guess.

Pros

Remote work and great benefits

Cons

Compensation consistently lags behind market standards, and the culture suffers from entrenched favoritism that undermines any sense of meritocracy. Certain managers routinely elevate friends they’ve brought into the organization, creating an inner circle dynamic that erodes trust and team cohesion. Decision‑making often feels politically driven rather than performance‑driven, and it shows in how accounts are assigned and supported. There is a noticeable lack of operational understanding at the middle‑management level, particularly around how to structure books of business that give reps a fair shot at success. The result is predictable: widespread underperformance, constant turnover, and a region where hitting quota has become the exception rather than the norm.
