Pros

This job has put me in a position to find my own personal and professional success. My closest friends moving to Nashville are the people in this office. This company places so much emphasis on bringing our core values to such a individual level, that it really does provide an environment that makes you excited about coming into work. In sales, you definitely have more of that entrepreneurial feel because you really are able to create your own business. Very little micromanaging and the company has sales tools they've invested in to really help you perfect your craft. With this being my 5th year with the company, I have friends from college that are on their 2nd or 3rd job and asking if Brooksource is hiring. It's growing and there are tons of opportunity. Still feels like the ground floor.

Cons

No real cons. Other than the industry may not be for everyone.

Pros

This company relies on growth from within, so if they see potential in you, they will help you get to that next level. There is always a huge support system around you at all times.

Cons

The amount of support can quickly turn into micromanaging, and promoting from within is great until you start protecting those who earned their title sheerly through tenure or a 'good ol' boy' system. Also, the pay is abysmal. They pay you the absolute minimum in salary and the rest is based off of commission, so even the best reps can lose everything on a clients whim, going from making almost $200K a year to $30K in the blink of an eye. They say they have protections in place for that but that's only for the people who earn the company millions of dollars for 4 consecutive years. Also, there really is no such time as a work/life balance here. They throw parties to make you think you do, but if you are out on PTO you will still be judged by your KPI's while you were out, and they expect you to pick up the phone, regardless of if you are on vacation or at your grandfathers funeral. "Still gotta keep you numbers up!"
