Pros

If you are fresh out of college, new to sales, or just can't find a job literally anywhere else...This is the perfect place for you. I quit before they recently laid off 50+ employees but prior to that, as long as you had a pulse and could string together a half intelligent sentence, you can keep your sales job here even just coasting at 50% of quota for the year.

Cons

More than half the sales team is just horrible hires....If you want to work with smart, driven, intelligent co-workers who actually want to go to work...STAY CLEAR. Most the hires here are trashy south FL kids who barely passed high school. The director of sales for SOCOM has no idea what he is doing.....He offers no help to his reps and is often found in a conference room playing on Instagram, ESPN, Or literately anything else that has nothing to do with work. 99% of issues he pushes on his team leads who also have no business leading a team - they are just reps who have been with the company for a long time. C-suite brags about positive company performance and big funding offers but run the company severely in the red. No career advancement opportunities...Ran like a prymaid scheme. You will spend at least 1 (usually longer) year only making cold calls for 0.25% commission...THEN if you drink the coolaid you can become a min-broker and make 3% commission....The real $$$ is saved for employees who are dating managers and best friends with manager.

Pros

No pros at all. Run away

Cons

They struggle to renew customers. Renewal rate is laughable. Federal platform “fedmine” is a joke. It was made in 2004 and still looks that way. They don’t even have the most common contract vehicles that most federal contractors are looking for. Dibbs, nasa sewp, gsa ebuy are non existent. They patch holes by partnering with other firms for drafting bids or offering more gwac availability. Someone could potentially pay 3 different providers instead of taking the time to develop the product themselves. SLED data is solid, but not sustainable as customers don’t win many government contracts which is why the renewal rate is so low. Tenured reps are highly favored and get to work the best accounts.
