Pros

very good technical training to prepare you for the technical demonstrations in the position. Great experience as you control every portion of the sales cycle from discovery to support after purchase.

Cons

Huge company that is extremely data/metric focused. Metrics often feel more important than sales. Territory and division often determine how the job goes. Bigger territories require lots of driving and weekly hotel stays.

Pros

Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

Cons

Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
