Pros

The people in my market are great. Not the managers, but the other sellers. We bond over how terrible it is.

Cons

Training is more so focused on "how to use Salesforce" and "how to conduct a pitch meeting" rather than how the products work. I got extremely lucky with a large deal, but everything has gone downhill now that we're launching the campaign. Things don't work the way they're supposed to, it takes forever for internal partners to answer questions, and the client is getting upset. My market is ending WFH flexibility, yet the managers are frequently out of the office on a weekly basis. Don't even get me started on the VPs. Commissions were cut by 30%. Every week, there's a new initiative to sell from corporate, but market managers still want your main focus to be broadcast. Don't expect to be given any accounts or leads. I dread driving to work every day and staring at my screen watching as everything goes wrong and under-performs.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
