Pros

I like some of the employees

Cons

If you have **zero sales experience**, this job might help you get “Account Executive” on your resume. If you actually know how sales works, proceed with caution. Here’s what my experience looked like: * Heavy micromanagement: Managers closely oversaw every step but often gave contradictory guidance. * Favoritism is obvious: Opportunities and leads are unevenly distributed, leaving some reps struggling to hit targets. * Ideas often go uncredited: Suggestions I made were implemented, but recognition didn’t follow. * Compensation complexity: Commission structures felt opaque and inconsistent at times. * High quotas, limited support: Goals were aggressive relative to resources provided. * Culture challenges: Some team dynamics and management styles made the environment stressful. * Limited advancement clarity: Career progression and development opportunities weren’t clearly defined. Overall, this role may be suitable if you’re new to sales and want experience, but for someone with prior sales experience, it can feel frustrating and limiting.
