Pros

Work life balance. Event tickets

Cons

This is one of the most disorganized and unsustainable sales environments I’ve experienced. Leadership lacks consistency, direction, and accountability, which creates constant confusion around expectations and performance. The compensation structure is unstable and frequently changes, making it nearly impossible to plan or build reliable income. After the first year, the role shifts to 100% commission with little support, placing all risk on the rep without providing the tools or structure needed to succeed. Despite high expectations, sales representatives are undervalued and treated as replaceable rather than developed. There is no clear path for advancement, and the role ultimately feels like a revolving-door, entry-level position disguised as a long-term sales career. While it may provide basic exposure to sales, it is not an environment that supports growth, stability, or long-term success. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the company stock.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
