Pros

Company car, card. Great products. Strong leaders.

Cons

Bonus structure is awful; essentially luck of the draw based on your territory and nothing more you can do about it. Even if your crushing it, your personal sales wins will not really move the needle. It is luck of the draw based on territory. Annual bonus structure with quarterly payout on “specific categories” NOT commission! You could be a rockstar and go into a horrible territory; sell like a legend and then not get a bonus because it’s based on annual growth (how is that sales?) If you want to go to a great territory and not do anything, this might be the company for you because there is potential you can sit at home and not do anything and take home the 30% bonus, while counterparts who actually work hard will take home nothing based on the low volume territory they inherited. Spent 4 years giving it a chance and the system Is awful.It is an annual bonus structure with and additional quarterly payout, NOT commission! If you are lucky enough to go to a great territory and not do anything, this might be the company for you because there is potential you can sit at home and not doing anything while counterparts who actually work hard will take home nothing based on the low volume territory they inherited. Spent 4 years giving the benefit of the doubt and the system SUCKS. We’re talking 20MM territories, you walk into the Role that someone else left and are expected to comp minimum 20% when the territory has been decimated. Bonus structure is awful; totally luck of the draw based on territory. Even if your crushing it the number won’t really move the needle. Annual bonus structure with quarterly payout, NOT commission!

Pros

Amazing culture. They are serious about their company culture. Great employee benefits.

Cons

At times you might find yourself without directions but it isn't really a company thing. It is about how much you engage with them
