Pros
Don’t really have to do a lot of work, because Management is oblivious to what is actually being done, and will pretty much be on your good side if your numbers meet their metrics. Vacation time and sick time is a plus.
Cons
Where do I start this company is absolutely beginning to deteriorate, and it starts with upper management. The people sitting on top have an incredible thirst to make the most revenue in the sales organization, but do not provide the adequate tools or resources for its reps to succeed. Being a software company their development of the product is extremely slow and the feature benefits lack functionality that the customer actually pays for. As you can see you will find that they are hiring constantly and that is due to everyone wanting to leave the organization. They have no clue what the market needs in their industry and resort to incredibly high pricing for a product that is mediocre compared to the competition which has caught up in recent years. Management also lacks any morality showing favoritism towards the employees that perform well due to their favorable circumstances including territories and past business exposure. Be aware that you receive all of your compensation breakdown in your offer letter, because they will promise you an obscene amount of potential commission that will be impossible to reach. Some employees are actually egomaniacs who insists that they are above and beyond anyone.The old school approaches for when they were relevant in the early 90’s have created a negative impact on the sales organization, you might want to innovate and try different approaches to be more successful. If you are hired the members are basically a glorified babysitters who will manage your day to day activities and seldom provided any insight into growing you professionally. You will also have members who will at all costs make it a point to avoid any conflict or conversation regarding product and innovation. In terms of Batman characters, you can describe this sales organization as Two Face.
