Pros

I will make this review as transparent as possibe. Yes it is stressful, exasperating and pressure is almost too much to handle especially during closing. But you know what whatever sales job you are in I can almost guarantee you that stress will always be a part of the package. Numbers and quotas will always be part of the deal. If you are not up for it maybe sales isn't for you, maybe you can consider a different job instead. What's good about sales in general is the fact that you get to write your own paycheck at the end of the day. With INK I achieved so many things in 7 years. Bought my parents a house of their own Managed to send my siblings to university and later on successfully got their respective degrees Saved and invested a substantial amount of money overseas Travelled with my family to many places and stayed in luxurious hotels/villas which I used to only see in glossy magazines But more than these personal achievements, INK taught me to be resilient and to always push for that extra two inches. Pros 1. If you manage your time well, I can guarantee you, you can go back home at 6pm sharp except if you are closing the magazine and chasing for few ad layouts. 2. You get to enjoy your weekends! You don't have to think of coming to work on a Saturday or Sunday. 3. Management is very understandable and supportive especially for working moms. They believe that family must always comes first! 4. They will invest on you through trainings and coachings. I can guarantee that you will be a better salesperson ofcourse given that you apply and take in all the learnings 5. The company will send you for business trips, all expense paid! 6. You get to write your own paycheck. How much do you want? 5? 6 digit? It's achievable! Trust me I just brought home my biggest salary last December. 7. I've been to several companies, but I've neither met nor managed to speak with the CEO. With INK, you can always approach Simon may it be personally when he is in Singapore or even write him an email. You can tell him your struggles/concerns and he definitely listens and responds.

Cons

1. Yearly increase of team and personal targets 2. You will do all the salesprocess from leadsourcing to closing. Sometimes you need to do some production tasks following up on materials and chasing for payments
