      Dangling carrots and conflicting performance standards.

      Pros

      Good people, many of whom are passionate about education and improving outcomes. Friendly and non-competitive sales environment. Flexible schedules and work-life balance. Improving digital offerings.

      Cons

      Attaining bonuses is difficult under ideal circumstances. Accurate reporting is a constant problem and the hard work of getting commitments to use products can be undermined by multiple sales channels that may or may not be credited to the rep. The best people in day to day effort and metrics can be threatened with negative performance reviews while still being handed threshold incentive checks. Make sure you find the base pay acceptable and do not assume there is any loyalty or investment in your success from senior management.

      Pros

      Company car & benefits compare favorably with other companies of the same size

      Cons

      Depending on the region, culture is toxic. Reps are afraid for their jobs, territories are constantly being tweaked, and disciplines are routinely vetted in case it becomes more profitable to represent them from the inside sales channel. Decisions take a long time so meanwhile those disciplines in a holding pattern are stuck with little to no marketing or editorial support. Reps are responsible to sell those products nonetheless. Key decisions about company longevity vs. bit by bit sell-off keeps everyone on tenterhooks.

      Pros

      Awesome manager who cared about our team and made sure we were doing well in our environment. He made sure we only did what was required of us, as many departments tried to send us work that didn't have anything to do with our job

      Cons

      Outsourced IT jobs to India.
