Pros

None that are worth putting up with the cons

Cons

Toxic environment, unrealistic expectations, poor treatment from leadership unless you’re a doormat that hits their numbers (which is close to impossible now), gaslighting is the leadership style, you will not make as much money as you’re promised, there is no room for growth, consignors are irate so doing outreach is painful, no one is upper management actually understands the business and make detrimental decisions that negatively impact sales managers and field reps. Just stay away and you’ll thank yourself later.

Pros

Good peer group of women on the team. Mileage reimbursement is provided.

Cons

Extremely high sales quotas that are difficult to consistently achieve, paired with limited compensation upside even when goals are met. The organization feels top-heavy, with too many layers of management relative to the field team, which creates inefficiencies and slows decision-making. Management style can feel overly micromanaged and at times more focused on process and tone than actual business growth or performance metrics. There is limited perceived career growth, and compensation does not scale meaningfully with experience or performance. Overall morale among the sales team is low, and employee concerns around workload, pay, and structure do not always feel addressed in a meaningful way.
