Pros

Job Flexibility Training Sales Tools On-Going Sales Training Benefits Good Comp Plan IF you can sell and you can work the plan They provide great training, all the support you need. Your success here boils down to the amount of sales talent and grit you bring to the role.

Cons

-No cohesion within my team. Team does not collaborate and meetings offer little opportunities to engage with the team. I have heard other times are much better at this then ours -Not really a con, but if you're not confident in your sales ability- This is not the job for you. -Due to some Digital Service Consultants being overworked/under-trained- we have produced several sub par campaigns resulting in cancellations, charge-backs and blows to our a reputation within the marketplace. ( I do work with many great DSCs, but in the mid range spend its hit and miss on these folks unfortunately) -Confusing and ever changing commission schedules are challenging to understand

Pros

reat place to work! They truly care about their employees and create an environment where people feel supported and valued. The managers are amazing—they encourage you, challenge you, and push you every day to grow and succeed. It’s a team that genuinely wants to see you win.

Cons

I would recommend doing a little more research and qualification before passing leads over to the reps. Some leads are labeled as ‘hot,’ but after speaking with them, they often don’t have the urgency, need, or buying intent expected. A stronger qualification process would help the sales team focus their time on opportunities that are truly ready to move forward.

Ensuring our teams receive well-qualified opportunities is important, and we’re continually working to improve lead quality and alignment so reps can focus on the most meaningful conversations. Wishing you continued success here!

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
