Pros

-Pay is good to above average for fresh out of college. -if you are coming into this role with previous sales experience its pretty average to below average from the offers i have been seeing. -you will be tracked on everything. Almost to the point where the data aspect of your job becomes more important than the sales side of it. - this is an amazing job to get into and learn more about sales if you are starting fresh.

Cons

-Please up the salary. we have be asking for over 2 years. we have seen nothing but double digit growth since pre covid. -all you are doing by not upping the salary is forcing your best employees to look elsewhere. which then puts double the workload on your other employees, which makes them want to quit, and the cycle continues. -Please get away from the "more activity= more sales" it is just factually incorrect and you are just driving your works to quit.

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.
