Pros

They are on top of things through the onboarding/sales training process. Three weeks upfront and another 10 weeks to a lesser, but consistent extend. Try and provide the basic support tools.

Cons

The SMB market is a tough category. Just not sure how much active opportunity is there considering the high percent of sales reps fall out (I was there eight months). Even if make it to a year, how few find it sustainable over multiple years.

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.
