Pros

Company benefits are decent. Work/life balance.

Cons

Turnover is high, Very little training, no coaching, no recognition (we had one monthly recognition ceremony all year and that's only because upper management was visiting. It never happened again), Nepotism runs rampant, Nobody seems invested, Certain leaders allow their favorite reps to schedule unqualified/bogus appointments AND GET PAID, if you are not one of the favorites then you will be in constant fear of losing your job. On top of that, serious questions are met with poorly executed sarcasm.

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

Pros

Remote work is a plus. Collaboration from peers is more plus than minus. Documentation of business technology was great for the most part.

Cons

Worse holiday observance company I ever worked for. Pay is low for what is asked. Work/life balance was good until 2025. Mid-level leadership and above is not ideal. I had little guidance when I started so, especially from manager so had to figure things out with help of peers.
