Pros

Decent pay, hybrid work environment for full time employees, nice office and high quality equipment

Cons

Secretive, smoke-filled room management style, very "set in their ways" and obtuse. Japanese culture runs wild here, with a very strict dress code (no jeans, no shoes other than loafers, no shirts other than plain dress shirts) that is enforced by a dedicated team of watchdogs who look for people to report to management for violations. Management does not look for coaching opportunities - if you don't "fit in", you will be fired regardless of performance.

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.
