Pros

Most of the employees are nice. The pay and bonus are pretty competitive. Those two are the biggest pros there.

Cons

It’s a Japanese company. Work is life. It’s a great place to make a living if you like that work takes up your life. Everything is fairly strict. You cannot even leave your coat in your chair. Everyone sits never to each other, no cubes. Was not the company I thought it would be.

Pros

Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

Cons

Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
