Pros

The pay is above average for the sales industry. The colleagues and co-workers that you work with are supportive. The products you sell to other companies are state-of-the-art, an exciting environment to learn and grow.

Cons

Management from the top down is horrendous, and they don't treat their employees fairly. The amount you receive after commissions compared to the total amount of hours you work isn't adequate. There is no work-life balance, and you will be micro-managed. You will be dismissed for any communications that aren't favored, and training isn't the best; overall - expect to work there for 6 months to get your feet wet, then move on to better companies.

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.
