      Pros

      Phenomenal base pay. No 70/30 sales split which is rare. Commission on top of baser makes for an unbelievable entry level job. On a micro level, your manager really cares for you and is always available.

      Cons

      Way too much travel. You will spend over half of your month in rural parts of the country. You will cold call a lot. The job can be very telemarketer-y but indoctrination will prevent anyone from actually affirming this. You will be uncomfortably pushy and demanding of potential customers. Management only cares about your numbers.

      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.
