Pros

Literally the only good thing that came out of my employment there as a BDR was meeting and working with my fellow BDR's in my office.

Cons

Never in my 30+ years have I ever worked for a more incompetent group of people. The reporting system for sales is totally unreliable and in many cases totally inaccurate. The expectations for the salespeople are totally unrealistic and the managers are extremely incompetent, arrogant, and totally lacking in any leadership qualities. The company made a major change within the sales department nationwide splitting the staff into two divisions. One that sells the yellow pages and the other that sells only internet marketing products and only to new businesses. Management claims as recently as a week ago that over 600 salespeople were going to lose their job for failing to meet the new sales objectives. Question is if 600 people cant do it, is there any possibility the expectations are out of line? Hello investors! Is anyone paying any attention??

Pros

Incredible upside and earning potential! If you consider yourself a top performer, you will earn the money you deserve here.

Cons

It's a hard job. Lot's of rejection and grinding. Can be difficult and somewhat isolating being alone in a territory.

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.
