Pros

Remote work on Mondays, decent pay

Cons

Constant pressure, even if you have well exceeded quota. Constant turnover with management and SDR's. Low quota achievement, not great commission unless you hit atleast 80% of quota.

Pros

Leadership alignment is real here. What you hear in an all-hands actually matches what plays out week to week. That's rarer than it sounds. The culture is genuinely good for a sales org. People compete but they're not weird about it. There's a trust level between teammates that you don't always get when quota pressure is involved. If you take ownership and build things, people notice. The opportunity is there, you just have to go get it.

Cons

Your pipeline is your responsibility. Nobody is going to hand it to you, if you're waiting on inbound to save you, this isn't the place. Like any sales org, it's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately environment. Last month doesn't matter much. Just expect to always be pushed toward your best and you'll be fine.
