Pros

Above average salary and benefits.

Cons

Mgmt prefers quantity over quality, i.e. if you aren't working outside of business hours, you're not going far. Expectations aren't clearly laid out, but you're chastised if you aren't coming in early or staying late, regardless of measurable work achievements. Even salaried employees are expected to clock in/out every day. The company puts no effort towards corporate moral either and rarely takes action on employee feedback/complaints. Promotions are exclusively internal, which results in the most senior specialists moving into management, often without any real experience or mgmt training.

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.
