      Product Management

      Partner development specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work in a friendly, fun environment with great team members and leaders. Constant training and skill building exercises. Freedom to make decisions on how to grow your product line and increase vendor funding. Company funded events and outings are a blast. Team contests with cool prizes.

      Cons

      In product management it can be difficult at times to hit goals and for larger product lines it can be difficult to have a major impact on your bonus. That being said when the line is doing well the bonuses can be very profitable. Aditionally, reporting tools and customer tracking systems are outdated.

      Equal but not

      Pros

      Great pay 40k plus spiffs and bonuses. Yearly trips. Too much food!

      Cons

      Your happiness depends on your direct supervisor. If he or she likes you then great. But if not you are screwed. I have seen it on other teams. If your boss doesn't like you, no leads, no good accounts sent your way after a rep leaves.

      Positive experience, good employer

      Pros

      very positive sales work environment, large company with small company feel; with your success there are many options to move within company; in sales role will start you at a lower salary but the upside is significant as they move toward very high commission % of gross profit $ for big paychecks. They have a system that works well for them. Health benefits are affordable.

      Cons

      sales floor can be noisy, distracting, and lack any privacy for client conversations. Some of the technology for tracking sales is very dated, a custom built system, not that user friendly. They need a salesforce CRM system. Will take a few years to hit $100k in earnings.
