Pros

fun environment and great coworkers

Cons

terrible management, no transparency, no mentoring/coaching and training is terrible. The onboarding process is ridiculous and teaches you some of the worst sales habits that cause the high turnover this company sees; not to mention a consistently changing commission structure that gets worse by the quarter

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
