Pros

Decent base pay for sales roles. Potential to make significant money if you're in the small percentage of top/lucky performers. Training is actually good training if you can make it through.

Cons

Total fear based leadership. You'll hear constant jokes about getting fired for this or that, because most everyone is legitimately concerned they'll be fired at any point. The job itself is a pretty miserable role. Expect to be constantly hounded about daily metrics. To start you're expected to maintain all metrics that you would be as a senior rep, while also completing 25 hours + a week of training class. Expect 60 hour weeks minimum for the first few months. The comments about you can make a lot of money but you'll never have time to spend it are 100% true. During training you will see at least a handful of your class fired before even becoming fully trained for the job. If you're looking for good sales training for your career you will get it, but if you're looking for a job you'll enjoy or a company you'll spend some years at, look elsewhere. If you're looking to grind non-stop, working nights and weekends, don't care about work/life balance or you're own mental stability and happiness over making good money then I would suggest considering the role.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
