Pros

Good benefits, mostly work from home

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. They expect the world from you but give you nothing to achieve that. Training process teaches random things you don’t need to know and when it comes time to actually do your job, it’s nothing you’ve learned. Management only cares about you if you are exceeding your quota. it’s like a high school locker room where the managers are talking trash about the reps they dislike to other reps on the team, sooo unprofessional. They changed the commission structure in June 2024 which was essentially a massive pay cut for 99% of the sales reps. There is a reason this company has astronomical turnover. Their pricing is so much higher than other companies which makes it hard to sell, and the constant issues for clients you do bring on due to lack of organization and communication to other departments leads to nonstop complaints. This company is like the blind leading the blind. Everyone I know who works here hates their life and are actively looking for other jobs. This served me nothing other than a mediocre paycheck and a stamp on my resume. Oh! Also there is mandatory overtime with no extra pay, so if you like eating dinner with your family at night & on the weekend, I suggest you apply to a different company.

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.
