Pros

- sales folk can make a LOT of money with hard work - even if you start out on a tiny market, talented people move up quickly - the people are amazing...genuine, kind and funny - strong sense of camaraderie and pride in the product - crazy stuff happens in the office (elaborate company-wide pranks, etc.) - no set PTO policy means you can take as much vacation as you need/want as long as you keep your stuff together

Cons

- tremendous amount of pressure on salespeople - your attention is pulled in umpteen directions by various initiatives - long hours (not required, but hard to avoid as a function of how much you have to do and the nature of the product)

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
