Pros

-Amazing product and company. Very easy to sell when it’s the right fit and a hugely growing market -Ramping period for new reps

Cons

-No defined territories makes for a war zone for accounts between reps -Reps who meet quota off of inbounds are praised for hitting their number -Big “bro culture” which leads to lack of professionalism and ZERO diversity across the sales floor -About 20% of reps are hitting their yearly quota, only a small portion of that 20% are able to hit it year over year

Great product, in-person office atmosphere is very good, great learning opportunity for someone newly stepping into first sales role from previous SDR position

Cons

Ran through sales account patches, below average base pay for role vs. rest of industry, can be a bit of a pressure cooker at times, high turnover
