Pros

Good pay when you hit your # Practice SMEs are great to work with Interesting work if you like your practice area

Cons

Sales culture is insulated, with out of touch old school VPs with elitist mindsets driving a big fear based culture - the VPs compete so hard against each other because of their egos and fear that the teams and clients suffer. Major sales and sales management burnout happening. No understanding of time in territory benefits long term-territories became musical chairs even for large accounts - Something happened culturally in 2024 and it’s been downhill for sales from there…also let’s face it, the CEO needs to go.

Work life balance, though in late 2026 will be required to go back to office. Full autonomy for your own schedule.

Absolutely no path for growth.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
