Pros

Pay rate is okay along with benefits

Cons

- Smaller departments favor particular people while others are set up for failure. - there are people in charge in the smaller departments who have been friends for long time. With this, there are unchecked powers that do what they want, initialize their own reporting and use them as they see fit - Micromanagement from some of the newer 'managers' who clearly have no idea how to use people skills , delegate duties or show common respect - You're a hero one week at this place and the next week, you are blacklisted - While on sales calls, I consistently ran into issues with my Iphone which I got no help from IT department (santiago?) never returned calls and I opened 3 tickets involving same issue with no resolve. I ended up using my own cell

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.
