Low Pay, Changing Quota, Over Hired

Pros

Benefits are ok and there is some travel with the role. It's a simple sale process.

Cons

- Base and OTE are very, very below market averages - Commission is capped (don't let recruiters lie to you that it's uncapped) - Quota changes every single quarter. Their decision making process is entirely reactionary. After a partnership announcement, they increased quota 200% and territories remained the same. - They hired a bunch of sales reps after the partnership announcement and tanked attainment - If you miss 1 quarter, you're immediately put on PM (yes, really!) - Most customer support is offshore, so be prepared to deal with a lot of pissed off customers - In the sales org, you'll act as support, administrators, and debt collectors since leaders won't invest in departments - There are no formal processes or guidelines for promotion. You have to "be a good cultural fit" in order to be promoted, even if you're exceeding attainment.
