Pros

-Staff in Chicago, sales and otherwise, are likeminded, young and hungry for the most part -Niche opportunities to make some serious money with hard work

Cons

-Management turnover/objectives changing monthly -Trial and error with sales comp plan; no consistency -The employees who were champions of the product have largely been forced out -Direct from COO- "We're here to appease stockholders, then merchants, then customers, then employees. Before they went public, this was hands down THE place to work in Chicago. Now it's a grind to move the stock price up pennies at a time, with no consideration for the long-term effects.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
