Pros

Very hands-off management style. They let you grow at your own pace. This is a great place to start out if you want to get into software sales. You learn a lot and you feel like you are ready to take on a larger role by the time you leave.

Cons

Not a lot of downsides, the only thing I can recommend is that there needs to be some more hands on training for the new-hires. There is very much a "sink or swim" culture, which is nice if you're more experienced, but it could take a while to get used to if you have no prior experience. Either way, you will learn quickly.

Pros

You will get a lot of experience with generating leads in the technology space and will meet some great people at the company that want to see you do your very best.

Cons

1) If you are put on a bad client that is difficult to work with (which happens a lot) you will eventually be put on a program called PIP where you either hit quota in a month or get fired. 2) If you get put on a PPM account with quota try to find the exit as fast as possible. These clients are the bottom of the barrel with dead lists and they are extremely difficult to work with. If you do not hit quota while on a PPM account you will get put on PIP and eventually be let go. 3)You have to get lucky with your clients or else you will just become overly stressed and burned out within a few months 4) If you do not hit quota for a month you will be put into a hole for your salary which will make it harder to get a bonus for every month you miss quota 5)Office is depressing you will hate coming to work everyday 6)There is always someone that is having a breakdown from the stress of the job 7)You will eventually get screwed by your boss in one way or another just ask around

Thanks for taking the time to post anonymous feedback here at Glassdoor. There’s a consistent theme to your “Cons” comments above and the message is you’re not interested in sales. And, that’s ok. Sales is challenging and requires hard work. There are no short cuts, there is no hiding at a desk or “getting lucky” when it comes to sales success, unfortunately. If that was the hope, it makes sense that you hated coming to a workplace that values hard work and rewards intellectual curiosity. The upside to sales is that, for those that are willing to work hard, learn the ropes and prepare constantly, there are generous rewards and, in fact, an office life that is a lot of fun with a cool culture. While we do our very best to bring in people that are likely to embody these principles, we don’t always hit a home run. The result tends to look something like the above as the person disconnects from our business. We do wish you nothing but the best of luck as you continue down your professional path.
