Pros

Remote Position. This is a fast paced, challenging job that offers a lot of variety in the day to day. The opportunity to learn here is boundless as we work with NI and they have so many product lines, not to mention carrying about a dozen product lines of Test Equipment. Our support staff (CSRs) are awesome. They work hard to support us and do not get enough recognition.

Cons

This job was sold as that I was going to use my background and knowledge of EE a lot in my day to day, but most of my time is spent putting leads in a CRM and pursuing emails. Not a lot of technical engagement. The learning curve is steep. Unfortunately putting out fires is more important then getting a solid understanding of the job before you are thrown in (your Technical Account Managers rely on you, so there is a real pressure). Again, most of the difficulty in onboarding was managing the CRM while trying to field all of the other work. 1/3 of the salary is commission and we never know when it will be paid. When I ask, I am frequently ignored. Everyone is overworked, so there is not a lot of opportunity to work on system improvements. In my first year, I had ONE conversation with my direct supervisor (a Pro for some!)

Pros

Testforce is a team of highly professional, technical, motivated sales and marketing people. I've worked in the industry for over 30 years with Test Equipment OEM's and nothing comes close to what Testforce offers. I work with and help train a team that ranges from new, young engineers to seasoned professionals. As product line marketing manager, I ensure that our sales force understands the technical requirements that our customer's face everyday when using test instruments as well as market research into emerging trends in a highly technical industry. The work environment is face paced, with new markets and opportunities everyday. But that doesn't mean you get burned out, on the contrary, it's the excitement and daily conversations with management and the team that keeps you wanting to do more. The earning potential is limited only by how hard and how smart you want to work. Management is encouraging and provides cutting edge support to our entire team and really cares about the people in the company. An very exciting place to work!

Cons

Working for Testforce isn't for everyone. If you are not self motivated or want a boring job, this is not the place for you. The team itself sets high standards and you need to have high standards for yourself to work here.
