Pros

The experience and coworkers are great. I love the technology I work with. I love the fact that, in growing, management recognizes the need to be flexible with us while maintaining high standards. Things change a lot so adjusting to the changes gives a good bit of flexibility to influence direction and culture.

Cons

Since I work in the office every day, unlike sales, there's more micromanagment but it's still not too bad. The culture there is definitely much more strict than most American companies these days from what I've seen and understood which can make for a boring and undesirable work environment but it's mangable.

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.
