Pros

The product is by for superior to its competitors. If you’re looking for a web hosting that provides you features to succeed, WP Engine can provide that service. It’s specific to Anish of clients where selling is very specific and there is no limit to how many people you can work with. Although a very difficult job, with the correct training, success is not unattainable.

Cons

Poor leadership from the mid to upper management levels. This company is an example that the best sales representatives do not make the best managers. Seems like they are trying to duplicate the way they sell however that strategy doesn’t work with the current market along with every sales rep. Coders are way high and although bonuses are nice, they are rarely hit.
