NOTHING is good enough and ZERO positive reinforcement - Commercial Land Sales Alteryx Employee Review

Firstly, the ONLY reason I'm not going with a 1 star. During their initial orientation (referred to as "boot camp" there), the CEO of the company will walk in and before he even introduces himself he will open it with "this will be the hardest job you'll ever have, but also the most rewarding" and while I disagree with this job being rewarding whatsoever, he was upfront in it being a tough job. Anyways, onto the cons. While I mentioned it being a pro, there is a reason the salary and the commission is so high here......this is a tough sale. You are cold calling, emailing, LinkedIn messaging 1,000+ businesses (which are provided to you) by researching the companies and researching the potential customers that fit the mold on LinkedIn, Zoom Info ETC. Out of 20 people you may get a hold of, you are lucky if MAYBE 1 of them wants to even hear you out (this is pretty standard in cold call sales). This job is a grind, but to be fair, during the interview process, the managers are very upfront in this regard. I have 16 successful years in different types of sales and let me say, this is a completely different beast. The STRESS (read below) this job will put on you, you may want to re-consider before accepting an offer here. So everything I've put so far, the pay is good, they were upfront with this being hard etc, so why do I list these as cons when I knowingly went into this? With a new company there are learning curves.....systems, product etc. I was here for 8 months and toward the end I felt I knew the product/systems SOMEWHAT. It'd be one thing if this was just me but you can ask ANYONE there, and they'll all tell you it takes at least a year to feel somewhat comfortable with the product. Onboarding was really where I knew things weren't going to go well. When I started, I sat in a different area away from the team I was on and not only away from my team, I sat with A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT. In addition to this, after those 2 months, I was switched to a completely different team with a new manager. My headline really says it all. There is absolutely ZERO positive reinforcement. The managers have done this job before so they know the grind and instead of giving you props for the things you did well and working with you on ways to improve the things you can do better, they only focus on the negative aspects. For example, if you create the most opportunities, instead of giving you kudos for that, it's just digging into why your other opportunities aren't progressing.......you could literally do 4 good things and if there was 1 thing to nitpick on, that's ALL that'd be focused on. I would absolutely DREAD the weekly 1:1's with my manager as I knew it was a hammer coming down on me for 30 minutes (which it ALWAYS was). NEVER in my career have I ever felt worthless, lack of confidence etc, but at Alteryx, I felt like a legit worthless piece of crap day in and day out. My wife would tell me countless times that she has NEVER seen stress on my face until this job. Keep in mind, this was all during a pandemic where EVERYONE there was struggling (rightfully so), yet NOTHING was good enough and I can't even imagine what this job would be like post covid.
