Cons

There's a lot to learn and soak in and success is not always immediate, but what you can learn in a short period of time outweighs that in my opinion.

Cons

Vast portfolio of products and services

Cons

No room for advancement. Do not hire outside recruiters they misrepresented the role.

Cons

One of the most toxic work environments I have ever been in. The old bait and switch: the promise that you will get some existing, buying accounts in training but you don't. You're cold-calling companies trying to get through, and are expected to purchase your own Sales Navigator extensions on LinkedIn (roughly $90/month). Compensation is NOT competitive for the area, and the commission is a joke. Very male-dominated, abusive environment. Typical "wolf of wallstreet" heavy-sales environment; you will get eaten alive if you have any kind of personality, goals, or compassion for others. Sales managers routinely scream at, berate, name-call, and swear at their employees. You are routinely told if you don't like it and don't fit in, you can leave. So I did.

Cons

The Seattle office specifically is incredibly toxic. They are very focused on creating a fraternity/sorority themed culture. They do this by cultivating individuals "personal brand" which is their excuse to shame their employees for their personalities.
In my time there, I witnessed countless instances of sexual harassment, drug abuse, and disrespectful behavior. Complaints of which were ignored entirely.
There are no excuses for the behavior in this office and it comes from the top down; including the female leadership, who I assume are made to feel that if they are not ambassadors for the culture of the office that they will be ostracized by their colleagues.
It was very frustrating to watch women in the office be told that they were crazy, as opposed to their opinions and perspectives being considered and respected.

Cons

So many here:
Pay sucks, management are rookies who don’t know how to manage heavy hitters, training is inadequate, employees are made to feel worthless regardless of how much experience they bring to the table, only employees who are truely happy are the ones who have no prior experience and don’t have bills to pay.

Cons

Not able to fully work remotely due to company policy

Cons

The pay is competitive, but not great when you have to live in expensive areas.

Cons

Work from home can be challenging, can take on too much work because you want to help everyone out, team collaboration could be better from being remote workers (not all locations are remote)

Cons

The company can put some added stress on you at times.
