Pros

Hybrid work model gives me opportunity to collaborate with my team and other departments in person on in-office days, and allows me to to be ultra-productive on days that I work from home with little distraction. Another plus is that all of the Directors/Leads have the best interests of the sales field in mind during decision making. I also like that my department shares in the successes of the sales field.

Cons

The pay is a constant point of conversation with my team. I would like to see some standards in place as far as what they can expect in dollar amounts/increases based on level of performance. I feel like I am always in a battle when increases come around.

Pros

The people are incredible to work with, everyone truly cares about doing a good job for their team and the businesses we work with. The company takes time to pour into their leadership teams to advance their skillset and improve their abilities to lead. Opportunity to grow and advance as long as you are willing to be innovative and move quickly.

Cons

Working with a direct sales model causes some challenges, but overall nothing major. Decent amount of travel for corporate team and sales meetings.
