Pros

The incredible breadth of knowledge and valuable career experience that Vorsight has to offer is simply unparalleled by any other company in the area. The amount I have learned in just over a year at Vorsight far overshadows any experience I gained in two years with my previous employer - Vorsight essentially provides you with an MBA in sales within the first 1-2 years. There is no other company that gives you this type of exposure - you learn to interact some of the highest execs in the country/world on a daily basis, and have conversations with them as if you are their peer. Not only that, but Vorsight gives you the opportunity to work with clients in all different industries (healthcare, IT, sales, marketing, finance, legal, etc), allowing you to better understand the direction you want to take you career, and basing on actual working experience in that industry.

Cons

The starting base salary is a bit low compared to other positions in the area, which deters a lot of candidates that are concerned about not making the amount they'd like in commission. This is the biggest road block to get over with Vorsight, however if you look at what employees actually bring in over their first year, it tends to be more than what most end up making in other sales positions that offer a higher base initially - not only that, but there is a ton of opportunity for upward growth - I was promoted twice within my first year with the company.

Pros

Very hardworking and innovative environment that is the perfect fit for someone coming right out of college to really dive deep into the psychology of the top of the sales funnel.

Cons

Cold calling is tough. It's not for everyone.

Pros

- Amazing training. I truly feel that I have learned more applicable and important skills at Vorsight than I did during my 4 years of college. - Amazing culture. A group a very intelligent, fun, driven people who I looked forward to working with everyday. Everyone in the office meshes so well. It's an amazing thing when you find yourself choosing to hang out with work people on the weekends when you're forced to spend the whole work week with them. - Great experience. Vorsight allows you to learn about so many different industries. You also build your communication skills and learn how to talk to and interact with C-Level executives at Fortune 500 companies. - Relationship building. Vorsight has given me the opportunity to form relationships with all of my different clients that I am supporting. It has taught me the importance of forming strong relationships with your colleagues, clients, prospects, etc.

Cons

- There's unfortunately a cap on how much you are able to grow within the company. Once you hit Sr. Account Manager or Sr. Client Development Associate, there is really no where to go from there unless a Management role opens up. - Common sales headaches. The industry is tough and you have to be very thick skinned and strong. The industry/position is not for some people and you will quickly learn whether or not you belong. - Base salary is a bit low compared to similar companies in the DC area. However, with hard work and determination, the uncapped commission structure can allow you to make anywhere from 55k+ in a year.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! We love hearing that our former BDA's found such value in our training process. It sounds like you took advantage of the opportunity to work with clients across a range of industries and built relationships with your reps- all things we encourage. As your review highlights, we offer a base salary with a higher commission potential than other similar roles. We are a performance-based organization and while the base salary may be lower, the opportunity for uncapped commission provides Associates the room to earn $55k+ in their first year.
