Pros
- Coworkers are great and like family. - Unlimited potential upside in sales position. Sales managers make a 20% commission of the margin that they bring in for the company. There is no cap on commission so if you work hard enough you can make some serious money. - Once you are established as a Sales Manager with a good base of accounts, you have a lot of flexibility to work remotely or in a hybrid capacity. - I've gotten to travel the world to lots of amazing places meeting with customers. All throughout Europe and Asia.
Cons
- Mostly hands-off management style. This can be a plus but if you are not the best self-starter then you may struggle. - Poor work/Life balance. You are expected to always be available/working and answer emails from customers promptly, even if it is the weekend or after hours. We work with customers around the globe so it's not uncommon to have business calls in the early morning (Europe) or late afternoon/night (Asia).
