Former Employee – worked at Wiline full-time for more than a year
Pros – Brilliant CTO, who is very approachable and makes time to address any technical or company related questions an employee may have.
Cons – Telecommunications 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 Management – None - good luck!

Former Employee – worked at Wiline
Pros – When 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.
Cons – In 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 Management – Training. 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.
