Pros

Awesome Pay, Gives the employees resources and benefits, good people work here.

Cons

Management doesn't do anything to retain their talent. They would rather see a young new hire take over a territory rather than someone who has been covering it for years. Its a high-energy job so the turnover here is massive which hurts sales because all varieties of plant personnel have to keep seeing new reps.

Pros

Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

Cons

Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
