Pros

Pay is good for the area. Benefits are nice. People are generally cool. They only hire pretty people for the most part so that's a plus. The president is hot.

Cons

- high stress environment - managers berate you and belittle you and make you feel incompetent and anxious, sometimes in front of teammates -they lie to get you in the door. they say your job is one thing but you'll end up doing something else entirely -sales people can be arrogant and bee-itchy especially the manager. maybe if they check their attitudes, sales would stop declining -they throw their master's degrees in your face to make themselves seem smarter when in reality, half of them are online paper-mill degrees from for-profits that don't hold any actual value -didn't always give raises and bonuses when they were supposed to according to some employees -management nitpicks over every little thing you do while being utterly incompetent at their own jobs and they like to come up with all these wild ideas/projects that rarely work out -they said turnover rate was low, but this isn't true. people get stressed and quit/get fired regularly after dealing with so much nonsense -it looks like they only hire black people and minorities to be tokens for the most part because none of them last long in any department.

Pros

APS has strong systems, organized onboarding, and good exposure to SaaS, HCM/payroll, CRM tools, and consultative sales structure. The company invests heavily in training and accountability through Sandler methodology, Gong call reviews, Mindtickle AI role plays, Zoom recordings, and daily coaching throughout onboarding. HR was responsive and professional throughout my experience, and some leaders and peers were genuinely supportive in helping navigate territory strategy, GeoPoint, and the field sales process.

Cons

This is a very structured and heavily monitored sales environment with limited autonomy. The Sandler methodology is deeply embedded into the culture and training process, which may work very well for some salespeople but did not naturally align with my communication style or approach to relationship building. The onboarding process can also feel overwhelming due to the constant feedback loops, role plays, and monitoring systems. Leadership support and communication styles felt inconsistent at times depending on the manager or situation. One of my biggest early challenges was territory adaptation and understanding how to strategically navigate the field environment while also adjusting to a new industry and sales process.
