Pros

You will gain a valuable sales skill set here. There is an 80 cold calls per day minimum, this will be a great tool and foundation to take with you to your next job. There is a good deal of travel involved, but the products are top notch and will sell.

Cons

You will burn out very fast, and they know that. The burnout factor is built into their hiring system.... the goals are often unrealistic and if they are not met you will meet financial penalties. Your bonuses are actually decreased.

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.
