Former Employee – worked at Wiline full-time for more than a year

ProsBrilliant CTO, who is very approachable and makes time to address any technical or company related questions an employee may have.

ConsTelecommunications industry is intensely competitive with established players dominating the space - companies like WiLine are unable to offer the comprehensive services the dominant players do. Hence, the potential to make a lot of money as a salesperson is not there. Expect to make at most (considering you're hitting all targets - which will not be easily given competition intensity) somewhere in the $70K range. If your desire is to make a lot of money serving in a sales cap capacity, then you may want to keep looking.

Advice to Senior ManagementNone - good luck!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Wiline

ProsWhen I first started at Wiline, it seemed to be a promising start-up telecommunications company. Good people, flexible hours, good benefits. From what the recruiters and sales manager told me, Wiline would be taking over the San Francisco Bay Area with a great product.

ConsIn my brief time there, it was discovered that the executive and sales management had very unrealistic expectations from its employees. There is always a certain amount of turnover when it comes to sales, but this was ridiculous. People would be there for maybe 3 months with hardly any training or guidance. But if you didn't perform, you were out of there.

Advice to Senior ManagementTraining. Your employees need to understand what they're selling, who they want to sell it to and why. Just handing someone a stack of business cards and brochures isnt going to go very far.

Former Employee – worked at Wiline

ProsFree to run your territory as you see fit
Sales managers will work with reps.(flexibility) to close deals
Employees are trying hard to make the best of a not so good situation

ConsCulture is a bit unethical
Lack of organizational support
Lack of financial stability

Advice to Senior ManagementRemember that your most valuable asset is the employees. That seems to get lost in your organization.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
