Pros
Culture, pay, training, fun environment. I think this is a great company to start a sales career in. There is pressure to succeed, but not a cut throat environment if you’re struggling. Put in the effort to grow and learn, management cares a lot about their employees and wants to help as much as possible. Occasional team and department outings which keeps things fun. The current training process is amazing and I haven’t seen any new hires struggle out of the gate with the trainings they provide. 10/10 from my perspective on that front. Making commission is why I say the pay is a pro. Your effort and input will directly impact how much money you can make. If you work hard, you can make an honest pay. If you have a bad month, your salary will keep you afloat. You don’t fully depend on commission for this job to support you financially like other commission based positions.
Cons
Industry, sales in general, amount of growth opportunities. IT industry is oversaturated which makes conducting sales a bit difficult. Sales is also not an “easy” job. If you’re able to overcome the mental stress of hitting quota and growing pipeline, this is not a con. Growth opportunities is something the company talks about a lot in recruiting and onboarding. There used to be a lot of growth opportunities, but that has slimmed down in light of recent changes. This is a “con” that the company is working on correcting, but has not gone live or presented solutions on as of me writing this. I would not let this discourage anyone interested in looking at this company or department as it’s only a current issue. I wholeheartedly believe this is something they have plans to improve.
