Pros

Great people to work with Supportive team

Cons

With this role get ready to put in A LOT of work for very little payback. This was the lowest paying sales job I’ve ever experienced by any standard. Always hiring due to the ridiculous turn over rate and low employee satisfaction. I’d recommend saving your time and looking elsewhere.

We are sorry to hear of your experience. This entry-level position is great for someone with strong skills in forging new relationships and has the ability to work within a start-up atmosphere. The compensation is a progressive pay for performance plan which includes uncapped commission, those with a strong work ethic and drive to be successful are rewarded well. The success of this team is mirrored by its rapid expansion over the past few years, where incredible career advancement opportunities are approached with a strong promote from within culture.

Pros

The work can be fun

Cons

Zero diversity in management. Women and minorities do not have a chance of promotion into real management roles. Customer Service Managers are "managers" by name only, they are paid far below the level of their responsibility and often referred to as "the girls" by senior male management.
