Pros

There's decent flexibility with this job because all sales staff work from home.

Cons

The only ones who like this company are over in India - if you're stateside - there are very few good reviews! Unattainable quotas... sales managers will harp all day long that this is totally achieveable, but yet, they are not out there and they couldn't do it if their jobs depended on it! Micro-managed to the max! EVERYTHING must be recorded or as far as they're concerned, it didn't happen. They are firing people left and right. If you're not liked, they will do everything possible to push you OUT! They start new reps out with NOTHING! Good luck! You're going to need it! If you don't perform and quickly, they will let you go - the faster the better - cuz then it's a tax write off for them to get rid of you as fast as possible. Our division had about 100 people in it in May/June 2014 - we're down to 12. TWELVE!!! The management do NOT care... they used to. I think they feel trapped as well. If you make a report into HR, nothing will get done... I think they pride themselves on the worst managers possible. David Eckert has a record of coming into companies, cutting massive amounts of employees and making the books look good enough to the company can sell... it's not looking good.

Pros

Incredible upside and earning potential! If you consider yourself a top performer, you will earn the money you deserve here.

Cons

It's a hard job. Lot's of rejection and grinding. Can be difficult and somewhat isolating being alone in a territory.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
