Pros

-great benefits -great culture -good opportunities for promotions/lateral movement -the people care

Cons

Honestly, the only con is growing pains. Execs changes and everything is done on the fly. Success in sales is trial by fire. Most fail and because things are so often changing training isn't necessarily really good. If you are a self starter and can think on the fly it will work out. Timing is everything, comp is often changing

Pros

You can make good money here.

Cons

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.
