Business Outlook

Pros

Culture is good where managers do not pressure the sales person to the point that the RM wants to resign and quit. Culture is such that the managers are kinder and more forgiving (within reason)

Cons

At the expense of culture, the commission (they call it bonus) structure is on a bell curve. That means you'll be fighting against the masses instead go yourself
