Pros

- Great PTO unless you are trying to take a vacation in Q4 or the last week of any month. - Great networking opportunities - Opportunity for a lot of early growth within the company - Can make a decent amount of money, although it's average for the industry - Now offering a fitness plan that pays for a gym membership - Hard to get fired - Lots of company outings and team events that are paid for.

Cons

- High employee turnover - Extreme lack of work life balance - The way the salary model works here is liner. So as you get promoted and have a higher base salary you then increase the threshold of when you start making commission so your technically not making more money based on this model. - Once the company realizes you are no longer "bought in" or you express any negative feedback you will become a black sheep which stays with you forever. - As in most sales jobs they treat you on the idea of "what have you done for me lately" but they seem to take this to the next level, even when you are having a stellar month it will still never been enough as upper management is constantly going to push you for more and more. - You are encourage to give 5 star reviews on Glassdoor.

Pros

The product is cool and if properly onboarded customers will get value from it. Coworkers are fairly social If you are new to sales would be a good place to learn the basics

Cons

Probably the cheapest company I have ever worked for. Benefits are below standard, they changed the commission plan every year I was there so that you would make less money, and you are expected to share hotel rooms when you travel. Look up Meltwater on Reddit or LinkedIn. They are known for very aggressive sales tactics which you will be forced to implement on your customers. A culture of micromanagement that comes from the top down. Virtually no avenue for promotion unless you are willing to move or get lucky and someone leaves.
