Pros

The training is excellent an the pay CAN be great, that is if they get it right. Outside reps have a lot of freedom but are watched closely interns of activity. You get a company iPhone, MacBook Pro, and expense/mileage reimbursement. You also get a staples account you can order office supplies from but the list of what you can order is VERY LIMITED.

Cons

They've changed the commission structure 3 times in 6 months. Commission statements are wrong and have to be corrected more on often then not. You are very alone on the outside and it is hard to get the attention you need. You work all the time with little work life balance. There is no vacation policy which they present as a positive thing eluding to unlimited vacation days, but really it seems to be a big hassle asking for even a day off now and then.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
