Pros

Best products on the market, high motivated colleagues and excellent sales training. If you give your best working under pressure you will enjoy this work experience

Cons

High load of pressure for hitting the monthly, quarterly and yearly budgets, really low salary and pays compared to same position in other companies. They expect each year more performance but pay the same..

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.
