Pros

Culture, it's generally a young energetic company where most people are willing to pitch in and help. Generally a relaxed sales environment. Not very much pressure to hit your number every quarter. Medical benefits are superb (Canadian company). If you're newer to IT sales, it's a great place to get exposure to, and training on a lot of diverse technologies.

Cons

If you don't have pre- or post-sales engineers in your city, it's very difficult to make money...unless you've had your accounts for 5-10 years. Company is keeping to the fun/cheeky branding, which does not give customers a professional image, IMHO. Compensation is dismal, unless you've had your accounts for 5-10 years. Like usual VARs, it's heavily commission based. Unlike usual VARs, the base salary is below industry standard. There are other VARs who are better overall, and give a sales rep a better chance to make money.

Pros

Challenging and interesting work. The potential is there.

Cons

Management does not listen and executives are fed bad information to action on. Director and VP level folks control the narrative and make bad decision after bad decision
