      Pros

      Salary is okay but not great

      Cons

      -promotion structure is horrible and based on territory and if it has been historically been doing well - unrealistic sales quotas and KPIs - territories way too big - bonus based off way too many metrics

      Great tools, but high hours and pressure

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

      Cons

      Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
