Pros

Great pay. Pretty cool coworkers. Great mileage benefit. Quarterly bonuses. Everything revolves around the sales team.

Cons

70+ phone calls twice a week. Never work from home. They have a group fund that is split throughout the company and you never know what it is. It could be $5 or $10,000. The structure is so tight that everyone operates like robots. They claim the employee survey is how they make changes. Disagree. Competitors will double your salary and let you work from home. Then management will tell you the competitors are not trustworthy or they will try to scare you into staying. When in all actuality the competitors actually take care of there employees

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.
