Pros

I was there for 15 months as my first sales role out of college. My training class started with 27 new sales reps varying in age/experience. By the end of the first 6 months there was less than half, and by the end of the first year there were only two of us. This is mostly due to the fact that the company/product is not liked by the clients you're selling to, making it a fairly exhausting sale. If you're good at it, you can make pretty good money.

Cons

It's hard to be good at it. There were mass layoffs while I was there a few times leading to multiple changes in leadership.

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
