Pros

Pay decent but not worth it

Cons

They hire "boys club" guys. Have heard awful conversations and no one seems to care. Not women friendly and less than 10% of their sales is comprised of women which is a huge red flag. Management unwilling to listen to their people and lots of people leaving for competitors such as Cognex.

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.
