Pros

Our strength is that we specialize in a few products: DIA, P2P and Colocation are our core. The mission is simple and rigorous. Pay is good and the commission plan is simple and seems to rarely change.

Cons

This is a tough job for the sales force. Lots of calls, stops by's and getting in front of the DM is a must. This job is unkind to those who waste time and much of the salesforce is nowhere near 100%. In the office bell to bell everyday making the most of every second.

Pros

Chill manager, decent base pay, cool work location

Cons

The work is highly monotonous, repetitive, and mentally draining. The expectations feel unrealistic, especially given the lack of effective tools, training, and meaningful support to help employees reach quota. The environment feels less like a career path and more like a high-pressure survival job. Success appears heavily dependent on having an established book of business built over many years, which puts newer employees at a major disadvantage. The monthly quota pressure creates constant job insecurity, which is exhausting and unhealthy. Having your job feel at risk every single month makes the culture feel punitive rather than motivating.
