Pros

Most of the sales force is really cool, and there were a few that were hilarious. Relaxed about showing up 5-10 minutes late. Your friends, and people think its cool that you sell night vision and stuff for guns. The company was having a lot of growth but that really only meant more money for 3 or 4 people.

Cons

Really almost everything about sellmark other than the majority of the employees is a con. The owner of the company is comically incompetent. The pay is very low and the commission is lower. Too many sales reps. Almost all of the "key accounts" are in 2 or 3 peoples names and the rest of the reps fight for garbage. From the time I started to the time I left the company brings in more rules for no reason, and month by month got worse to work there. This was a common theme that even some of the higher ups in the company would acknowledge this. Most of the products are pretty bottom of the barrel. The owners need to realize that they just got lucky to be in the right market at the right time. They believe they're the business geniuses but they're so mistaken its enjoyable. Did I mention pay.

Pros

There are some great people there who are passionate about what they do and are amazing to work with. They want to make Sellmark better.

Cons

Sellmark is dysfunctional at best and honestly it’s due to its leadership. The owner thinks he knows everything and pushes people to stop their actual work to do whatever random tasks he deems is important that day. Things like making new gate designs for the company ranch, or talking to one of his “contacts” that he over promised something to. When you try to bring up way to improve the company your often told your being negative and are dismissed by leadership instead of them actually dealing with the problem. He does not value people and thinks everyone is replaceable. Every year more and more company culture aspects are killed (like Halloween decoration competition) because they “decrease productivity” and you can tell it’s had an effect on the employees there. He often inconveniences this own employees for his other business ventures like the venue at the back of the building or the inability to go to the ranch for your actual job due to it being booked by others. He also values cheap people over good people when hiring.
