Pros
-Flexible work hours -Vacation time (20 days to start) -Intelligent, friendly colleagues -Access to many clients in different industries
Cons
-Useless trainings and meetings that are an utter waste of time -Long sales cycles (although it can be very rewarding when a deal comes through) -Many metrics cannot be overcome with poor territories. -Industry coverage isn't equal (CPG, Beauty and Personal Care coverage much more granular than automotive/pet care) -Client renewal rates are decreasing as product often is deemed not valuable for the cost. -Technology is WAY behind the times as companies become more data fluent (i.e. doesn't work with APIs, machine learning, etc.) -Career opportunities and progression limited -A lot of "controllable metrics" are now focused on things like # of dials, deteriorating actual quality of support to clients. -Low-to-Average salary and constantly changing commission structure -Colleagues constantly leaving because of the issues (I've seen at least 10 members on my team leave within the past year, not counting other teams. Many vacancies remain open). -Clients often question our methodology (and not in a good way)
