Pros

1. Decent salary for what is out there on the market 2. Good way to learn structure 3. You are probably going to be surrounded by good teammates (same level)

Cons

1. The job is admin, not marketing, good luck finding a job somewhere else afterwards in marketing if you are not learning and practicing in free time (or have previous experience) 2. Management cares about the results, not people 3. People who care about people are demoted, fired and overworked 4. Being a corporate busy-looking-delegating person is more important and values AND rated in company reviews than doing the work right 5. Growth is almost impossible but that is mainly due to their corporate structure (although they artificially grade people lower so they do not grow professionally because it is not beneficial for them, not just marketing department)

Pros

Great training program, and good mix of roles. You wear a lot of hats at this job which prepares you well for your career. Business and technically focused, and a real product expert type of role.

Cons

Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.

Pros

Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

Cons

Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
