Pros

Clients are great. Coworkers are great. That's about it really. Wish I could say more pros, but there just are not any.

Cons

Salaries are not industry median, they are much lower. Unrealistic expectations from Executives. High stress, high turn over. Management often fires employees to save the bottom line. They do not value employees that have been with them for a long time. Executives do not listen to employees' concerns. Benefits are so expensive it makes them worthless. Don't work here. I helped them write some of the positive reviews posted here...they are all false.

Pros

Unique solution with low market saturation. Privately held w/ no shareholders to answer to, which may, or may not be a pro depending on one's viewpoint. Not a complex sale, so the sales process qualifies/disqualifies very quickly and projects move to close. It is not unreasonable to think that one could close opportunities within the first 60 days of employment. Company procures leads from trade shows and maintains a sizable data base of leads to call on. Jr. sales roles maintain more longevity.

Cons

Extremely high employee turn over in very short time frames; under 5 months for sales positions. Candidates should do due diligence on social media, reach out to former employees for feedback, and question management intensively so that it is clear as to what the longevity of the role might be. Be advised - history shows a consistent pattern of termination without notice or severance at the conclusion of a successfully closed sales project, and/or a completed lead qualification campaign. Approach this company with the understanding that your position is unlikely to last longer than several months (average employment history supports this). Check with the department of labor for more information. Also, be aware that management is running another company in an entirely separate industry. During the interview process, seek to understand how the two companies share resources, time and how that will impact your role.
