Pros
I'm pretty bottom line - If you want to come to work, work hard and get paid/recognized for it, this is the right place. If you're worried about it potentially being a bad place, the facts and your experience will tell the truth. I came on board Jan, 2013, no true sales experience definitely no Compliance experience. The training program was still in development and I still felt that they equipped me with what was necessary for the job. I worked next to some of the poor reviewers on this blog. It's tough when your not willing to give, but expect a lot in return. I advanced 1 level in sales before being moved to a longer sales cycle product which was a better fit for my style. While in that department a co-worker was promoted to my supervisor. After 1 1/2 years of sales I applied for an availability in the supervisory team and earned the promotion. Since then another salesperson has been promoted to supervisor. The last 6 months of working closely with the sales leadership, operations leadership, IT and CEO has been enlightening. Every company has its growing pains and thats mostly what '13&'14 were. We have hit our grove. Everyone is firing on all cylinders and the place feels alive. 5 top salesperson monthly bonuses quota achievement bonuses base pay will pay the rent commission is uncapped training is ongoing More opportunities in the near future for those who want it.
Cons
Not a good 'just get by' job. I pulled a back muscle playing fusbol last month? A lot to learn and a lot is expected. Competitors have creative ethics. Are not fully staffed for marketing, sales or operations.
