Pros

Good job to kick start a career in sales, but not a long term place to work due to micro management. This is dependant on which division you're placed into which is down to the need for the role in the area rather than where you're most suited.

Cons

Micro management is a key part of the structure to get the most out of every employee. A way they can always point out improvement points are the vast KPI's you are judged on.

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.
