Pros

Well known organization - so the name recognition is helpful. They also do a good job of leveraging research / data / trends as a sales tool.

Cons

There isn't enough white space to describe the PTSD from this job. Managers absolutely do NOT care to train or support you. Even if you don't come from the industry, you'll start getting emails within weeks of starting....on Saturday...asking about your pipeline, how many deals you're on track to close, etc. The environment is completely hostile, with producers who "walked past a company's HQ 4 years ago" claiming that lead to be their property and you will get a nasty-gram if you put in a cold call. This is a factory....cattle herding....completely awful. I'm literally scarred from this job.

Pros

Great work-life balance as a remote employee. Management is approachable and genuinely willing to help when it comes to workload — you never feel like you're on your own.

Cons

Mentorship is largely self-driven. if you don't seek it out yourself, it won't come to you. Systems and internal processes can be slow and tedious, which adds friction to an already fast-paced workload. Compensation does not reflect the complexity or volume of work expected. High performers who are ready for the next step would benefit from clearer, more proactive promotion paths. When that structure is missing, talented people disengage quietly long before they ever leave.
