Pros

Love my boss and his boss! Have an awesome mentor who really try's to help out with everything. You learn ALOT! You get to grow up and actually be a professional and always think critically. One of the top guys called me once and asked me my opinion on some marketing for our whole division. Not only did he ask my opinion he made it happen! It felt pretty awesome to have my ideas feel like they matter.

Cons

Stress can be hard with this job, also quality of life is poor with all the driving.

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.
