Pros

Great training program, generous pay for recent college grads, heavy investment by management into development of new employees, peer mentorship program, fun office environment, small local team, strong sales support team, clear promotion tracks, unbiased performance evaluations

Cons

Relatively rigid performance metrics, although nothing radically different from any other sales job. They only promote internally, which can lead to a smaller leadership pool (although improves your own odds of promotion). Cold calling obviously sucks.

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.
