Pros

Great product. No Dress Code. Ability to express opinions and thoughts without retribution. Many good, smart, and creative people. A potentially great future if the right path is taken.

Cons

Unattainable sales targets. If targets are not hit there is very little or no commission, even if you generate huge amounts of revenue. Management constantly changing priorities -and when they do, everything you worked for is instantly irrelevant. High turnover. Extremely heavy workload. Monitoring of too much activity.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
