Pros

can be lucrative if you are a favorite or lucky

Cons

-management is a disaster. first off, if you are not a favorite, forget it. -live on slack, but it is inundated with white noise which is wildly distracting, and time and time again I have missed important information because of all the random shout outs -quotas are astronomically high, and the breakdown of accounts and territories is so randomized that some people are just destined for failure -forecast calls are dehumanizing and feel like an intense interrogation -the separation of inbound/outbound/expansion makes no sense -you are either on the leaderboard or live every day in fear that you are going to be fired -people will steal your accounts so always sleep with one eye open

Pros

Fully remote, flexible, and monthly stipends. Good pay.

Cons

Shady leadership. Tendency to hire employees for a specific reason only to dissolve their position once whatever project they forecasted for the employee is complete. I’ve seen it happen to multiple employees during my employment until it finally happened to me after a few years. Was advised by a former employee in leadership that I would more than likely be overloaded with work and worked out the door in some way because that was their trend. I didn’t believe it but it started happening to many people around me. I don’t trust these people and managers are very loose lipped, move sloppily, and doesn’t know how to not let secrets slip out. I knew my position was being dissolved from meetings I saw on my managers calendar. Luckily I started applying for jobs because I saw the writing on the walls. I had something else lined up but was still a bit blindsided because I was clearly communicating need for help to my leadership. Multiple interviews asking how I was doing and what I needed help with only for 3 days later to be told my position was no longer needed.
