Pros

- Great Commission Structure - Employee Benefits such as; Winners Circle, Club 300, etc - No limitations on travelling to visit clients/prospects

Cons

- Though collaboration is implored, the sales teams are in direct competition. It becomes a wolf-like culture full of cloaks and daggers to get one over on colleagues. This comes without consequence. - This leads to selfish & ruthless sales individuals who care only about their number and not about the business objectives. - It also encouraged (inadvertently) a high-energy bullying culture (ignored by the SLT) which involved assault and intimidation by both AM's and Directors. - The sales strategy is less about providing value and more about tricking enterprise organizations into believing the 'product' is going to help them long-term (analyst exposure, lead generation, etc). - Through recruitment, you are promised £100k+ within the first year and the possibility of earning £200k+ going forward. This is only If you can master the trick though. - The internal competitiveness boils over into drink and drug fueled post-event sessions, which go on to 5-6am.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
