Pros

The job is set up very well. I find it easy to succeed as long as you go through the motions. It is a great place to really develop your skills and find how you operate in sales. They'll really throw you through the ringer with training, you run all over the place, but in sales you want that so it doesn't get stagnant. The competitors will be all over you for working here. Expect a call once a week at least.

Cons

Work life balance isn't the greatest, you start early in the office at 730. You get paid well but at times it feels like you deserve a little more. I really have no complaints other than that. Oh and lose the tie, we are the butt of jokes due to the professional dress code. I'm expecting a 2-5 year burnout.

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.
