Pros

Most co workers are great, fun to work with, and Hard working . I say most because there are some who Should be working flipping burgers instead if sales. Achieving goals and getting bonuses was great and rather profitable To me. Most managers treated me like a human

Cons

Here we go: 1. Where is this company going ? It was fun to have one product (print ) now there Are 21 products half of which suck and are a waste of customers money 2. The archaic laptops are crap as is the order entry software they have . It makes a sales rep want to smash their computer daily because the programs don't work While trying to process an order. 3. They keep releasing we versions of the software update but I think they fail to test It before it's released as the amount of time with IT on the phone and glitches is painful 4. The company tries to sell new products , or should I say forces sales rep To sell crap to make numbers. The failure of these upsets customers and Forces a sales rep to make up lost revenue elsewhere. 5. Too many cooks ( management ) in the kitchen . To some I say " what exactly do you Do here ?" Many managers are leaders by fear and couldn't sell a glass of water to a Thirsty and dehydrated person . Yes you A.Z. 6 . The pressure to sell is so great , that reps are now curling up in a ball , sucking Their thumb and don't want to come to work . 7 Hibu has been taken off the stock exchange and shares rendered worthless . Hibu is owned by creditors. Google it you'll find it ! 8. Commissions on some products isn't worth the time and hassle to sell Or recommend them 9. One core value is " have fun , keep score and win" We'll the job isn't fun anymore , the score is what have you done for me today , his can you Win if your market declines 10% to 20% each year and the company has declined The last couple of years . Don't be fooled by their digital growth numbers . It's a lie. 10. This is a dying industry . The company relied on print so long that they forgot To keep up digitally . They've tried but failed . With the decline of print , digital has a Long way to go to play catch up. 11. I'm sick of the negatives

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
