Pros

Training was great! 3 weeks of intense training and met some great colleagues as well. The company along with some of the leadership, is fantastic. They provide you with most of the skills you need to be successful and continued training.

Cons

The activity is difficult. 45 a day is difficult. 12 hour work day is encouraged and can be done only if you are glued to your laptop. However you must be out in the field, on the phone, firing off and email etc. Almost impossible to do on a regular day. Then there are the regular long calls at least twice a week during peak selling hours. For example: Why would we have an hour long team call right at 8 am when the sales team needs to be seeking a decision maker? Then there is another call at 12 Then a 2.5 hour phone blitz later part of the day. Don't rob your sales team of crucial selling time. Give us back our time to build a quality rapport with future clients. Lastly if your in a metro area, your competition is insane. You will have to compete against we have tried it before why are you so different. That is an objection you'll have to work against, thus the sales cycle is much longer than usual or against other markets that are performing . There more I could say but I will keep grinding

Pros

reat place to work! They truly care about their employees and create an environment where people feel supported and valued. The managers are amazing—they encourage you, challenge you, and push you every day to grow and succeed. It’s a team that genuinely wants to see you win.

Cons

I would recommend doing a little more research and qualification before passing leads over to the reps. Some leads are labeled as ‘hot,’ but after speaking with them, they often don’t have the urgency, need, or buying intent expected. A stronger qualification process would help the sales team focus their time on opportunities that are truly ready to move forward.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
