Pros

Employees are well valued and well treated. It can be a competitive environment, but difficult situations are handled calmly, and the politics are minimal. High potential for upward mobility. Expectations are clearly communicated.

Cons

Sales territory is split so that 8-10 sales people are selling different product groups to the same accounts. Couple this with a goal for number of sales calls per month and you've got a situation where it can be difficult to hit the sales call goal without clients becoming annoyed.

Great training program, and good mix of roles. You wear a lot of hats at this job which prepares you well for your career. Business and technically focused, and a real product expert type of role.

Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.

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.
