Pros

Collette is a great company with a long history - this brings with it a history of different sales styles and management styles. Over the past 2 years Collette has been making strides to rid themselves of bad habits and become is progressive and modern company. There are so many bogus reviews on here talking about micromanagement and impossible goals - those are from a time long past and likely from people who got caught slacking off. - Great travel opportunities - Great freedom to manage territory how you want to - Good benefits - Management all used to have the sales job and have a great understanding of responsibilities - Great company culture - Easy product to sell and believe in - don't have to lie to customers and you can feel proud to sell a high quality product

Cons

- Growing pains as they transition from an outdated sales model to a new more progressive model - Starting salary is a bit low, but potential pay is amazing if you are good.

Pros

Working here has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. The leadership team goes out of their way to provide guidance, remove obstacles, and genuinely invest in people’s success. I feel trusted to own my work, make strategic decisions, and bring new ideas forward. The culture is a standout. Collaboration is real here, not just a buzzword. Cross‑functional teams communicate well, respect each other’s expertise, and work together toward shared goals. Professional development is another major plus. I’ve been encouraged to pursue training and opportunities that align with my long-term goals. Day to day, the work is fast‑paced and genuinely interesting—from developing strategic partnerships to helping shape long-term business direction. If you thrive in an environment where your contributions matter and your voice is heard, this is an excellent place to be.

Cons

Fast-paced environment may not be for everyone, but it keeps things exciting

Pros

Great teammates, made working for the company bearable.

Cons

Constantly being overworked and underpaid, work life balance is non-existent. New hires come in making significantly more than the people who’ve been there for years. Good luck on getting a promotion, they only promote their favorites. You get sold you on the idea of a growing company, creating change and bring new ideas to the table, but it couldn’t be further from the truth, no real interest in changing even when it could save them time and money. Leadership only cares about getting to a billion dollars in revenue and they don’t care how they get there, or who they lose along the way. Health insurance is insanely expensive, can’t afford it only making minimum wage. Travel credits and Bonuses are an insult, less and less credits each year even tho they’re making more money than ever! Oh yeah, and HR leadership is a JOKE!
