Pros

This is a good job right out of college. They will train you to sell and build a pipeline. Managers can be hit or miss, but coming into the right situation can net you well over $100k within a year of starting here. This is a super stable company as well.

Cons

Managers can be overbearing even when hitting metrics and quotas. Directors are a bit out of touch with how things are operating on a day to day level. Traveling also becomes tiring. Expect to be on the road for 4-5 hours per day, minimum depending on your territory,

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.
