Pros
Never had more supportive leadership in any role I’ve been at. There is a lot of work, but a lot of support to help you accomplish your goals. Also amazing collaboration between all levels of employees without ego.
Cons
Most teams are across the globe and it would be nice to be able to meet in person more often, but that’s the nature of being global.

Pros
-Bond with your new hire class through the experience -You’ll get real comfortable on the phones and running the whole sales process
Cons
I’m writing what I wish someone told me before accepting this job. -Unrealistic quotas -Felt slimy and unethical at times -When I say burn and churn I mean to the extreme, by 6 months, less than 40% of my new hire class was still at the company -Micromanagement down to the minute -Young power hungry managers with very little training = the most toxic work environment I have ever experienced (think high school level drama and politics) -Textbook definition of pressure sales tactics -Required weekend homework -7am-5pm then more time spent at home to get tasks done otherwise you get humiliated in front of everyone the next day -Don’t be fooled there are so many other sales jobs out there with better compensation and management
