Pros

The company wants to succeed and is a minority owned business.

Cons

They feed you like crazy...prepare to pack on the pounds, if you arent careful. The company wants to excel and does in ways...but the management ...they arent very professional. They tell you when you start about the potential to make HUGE money and some are doing so. The secret? You have to STAY THERE AWHILE to build some deep customer relationships which takes years to cement...then you may make some money...but dont expect to make too much your first year...a few do, but most have to offer such low prices to get new customers...you dont make much of anything. I see now, after 5 months..what the dealio is. Meantime, my position pays LOW!! They are always advertising for new account executives for a reason. If you love sales...if you love IT sales...if you love dialing the phone over and over...this place is for you. If not, steer clear. It's drove me plumb crazy. Applying elsewhere....

Pros

Work from home is a perk for most. Some ability to travel and attend events with clients and prospects.

Cons

Where do I begin? If you really need a job, I get it but would not recommend it! So many issues- toxic culture, very siloed even within sales organization, leadership not to be trusted. Penny pinching on sales commissions and unrealistic sales goals.
