Pros

Internal Promotion Only is nice. If you get lucky and are placed in a division with kind, helpful management that will invest time to coach you and advocate on your behalf you got it made.

Cons

Management can be good in some teams but, the “QMS” division is full of awful management. They have tunnel vision on an employees metrics and don’t account for other aspects or skills you bring to the table. Worst part is they pick and choose what metrics they care about. For example, you can be #1 in your division for “outreach” but they don’t care if you struggle with something else, and on top of all that some management will not coach you on what you struggle with.

Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.

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.
