Pros

Work with the newest technology Travel to places you may have never been before Overall young working core, so some similar people to you out in the field.

Cons

Outdated and hard metrics driven company with no pulse on their salesman that are out in the field facing customers everyday. You could sell the most anyone has ever sold in the history of the company but if you don’t make enough phone calls you’re not doing your job in their eyes. They’ll dangle a promotion in your face and once you’ve done everything and more of what they’ve asked, you’ll find it’s not good enough.

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.
