Pros

A well known and reputable brand to sell for. Strong client relationships and entertainment is great. Solid face to face sales experience

Cons

The level of micro-management during the pandemic was at crazy levels (causing many sales executives to seek other opportunities), and now has returned as revenues are down for the company. Wayyyyyy too many different sales metrics and KPI’s Sales Reps have to hit each week instead of focusing on sales revenue numbers and the bottom line. Managers flood their sales reps with emails and busy work asking us to check boxes and whatever the flavor of the week is. Constantly planning joint call days with international reps who plan none of the meetings themselves and then also having to plan joint call days with your Manager 2 to 3 times a month becomes a grind. I say all of this and I’ve had success here. There’s also some improvements that need to be made regarding the bonus payout structure for new business and it not just being for net new logo only.

Pros

Fairly easy once you last a month and a good job for those that like hard labor and working alone, most of the time I'm by myself which i don't mind, they are inclusive regardless of religion, sex, sexuality, race, gender identity or anything else,

Cons

Your body will hurt, pay isn't that good for what you are putting your body though and you also will only get a chance at a promotion only after 3 years from what I've heard (almost no one lasts a month I've seen a few hundred faces come and go and I've only been here a little under 3 months) benefits are also take a long while to kick in as I said I've been here almost 3 months and I still don't have benefits
