Pros

The company is growing at a very fast pace. The local teams are very good and responsive.

Cons

Absolutely no tolerance for ramp up time. The organization is a churn and burn shop. 30 days after you've been hired they are on you wanting to know where your numbers are at. There are very talented people who get roped into the organization with promises of 6 figure earnings in your first year. First year eanings for 95% of their hires is about 75-80K Their model is to hire sales at the lowest possible dollar figure and then brow beat them until they either succeed or starve and have to leave. Many of their competitors have a 2-3 year ramp up plan. No such plan exists at the company. In fact, they will not even assign hard numbers so you can judge your progress. Its wildly inappropriate how they treat the sales staff.

Pros

Work from home is a perk for most. Some ability to travel and attend events with clients and prospects.

Cons

Where do I begin? If you really need a job, I get it but would not recommend it! So many issues- toxic culture, very siloed even within sales organization, leadership not to be trusted. Penny pinching on sales commissions and unrealistic sales goals.
