Pros

Awesome company, great products, great team, and this company is the next big thing. We are unstoppable and we are here to stay for many many years.

Cons

Demanding job, travel and unrealistic customers. But it is YOU who controls how much work you put into it. I see a lot of people complaining and honestly you do this to your self.

Pros

Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

Cons

Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
