Pros

The Pay is very compeititive and the benefits are great. The training is pretty long, but they are good at making sure you know their products quite well.

Cons

You could hit your sales goals every month, but they seem to only care about how many phone calls you make a day. They don't trust their employees. You get an email every two hours telling you how many hours you were on the phone and how many calls you have made. If it isnt high enough you will get a phone call from the manager.

Pros

Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

Cons

Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
