Pros

You will make friends. The product idea is good.

Cons

Senior management in the UK are inexperienced and do not offer any support to local sales teams. There is a severe lack of communication and disconnect between senior management and the staff on the 'shop-floor. Responsibility of senior management seems to be passed straight onto shop-floor staff and this creates large amounts of stress and pressure. Staff turnover is very high, it is highly unusual to see anyone last more than a year. Be prepared to be micro-managed and do not expect to be rewarded fairly. Salaries are below-market rates and there are no annual reviews. There are no benefits at all (a 1% pension cont.) and only 20 days holiday which is what you'll need each quarter to deal with the mental stress you'll be needing to cope with. The commission structure is terrbile, for overachievers you actualy start earning less per $1 than you do for being just shy of target. You'll be lucky to take home 1% of revenue with an 80% threshold on a monthly target which will be plucked from thin air. Career Opportunities? None. This company is attemtping to shift all human responsbility onto it's automated platform, there are very basic business development roles (100% cold calling) and producer roles (which are never on-site).
