Pros

Good brand name, uncapped commissions, nice office

Cons

Lack of work-life balance. They’ll tell you they pride in work-life balance but let’s not kid around - it’s sales. Be ready to put in very long hours. You also owe the company money, meaning you must sell enough every month to cover your base salary. If not, you’ll keep owing the company your monthly salary until you can pay it off. Company not willing to forgo this structure even during global layoffs and with clients not hiring, so you have to work extra hours just to stay afloat...as if the usual days already aren’t difficult enough

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
