Pros

-Little micromanaging -ability to work with clients and colleagues globally -Great technology to sell -Global locations and production centers -Great marketing materials to leverage -Opportunity to travel -Ability to work with large corporations -Accruing PTO days

Cons

-No lead disbursement structure. Management takes any large incoming leads for themselves. -If you do get a lead they're usually a waste of time. -Extremely low pay for one of the toughest sales positions. -No account base, and you're in a draw. Meaning you have to pay your salary back before you make commissions. By the time you establish an account base (3+ years) you'll be so deep in your draw that you won't see any commissions for 8-10 months. -Competitors pay base + commissions + bonuses, so I recommend going elsewhere, don't waste your time here -VERY competitive market. Hundreds of other providers out there -Two different CRMs, so reps call each other's leads/clients all the time -CEO's are in litigation and are spending millions on legal fees. They could care less about their suffering underpaid employees -You're required to do your own collections. Most clients don't pay on time. -You don't get "commissions" until the clients pay. While you wait for payment, you fall deeper into your draw -No consistent training -Morale seems to be low in production. They're overworked and underpaid -Extremely long sales cycle

Pros

The work isn't too tough. The people in the office are skilled and pleasant. There are decent benefits and you can work from home for 2 days.

Cons

The pay is bad. Decent for when you first start but raises are small and infrequent. Bonuses are even smaller and more infrequent. We were fully remote but slowly have been forced back into office for no good reason.
