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)

Pros

Very relaxed environment, very accessible management, flexible hours, inexpensive health care costs, 20 days of vacation per year (can be used right away), unlimited sick time, generous with holidays (usually get out at 3pm the Friday before a long weekend), people are very friendly, people from all over the world work in the Chicago office, summer/Christmas parties were nice

Cons

Company not equally committed to all of the industries they purport to cover, quotas are high (even for unproven territories), disorganized research teams (spread across different global offices, making it sometimes hard to communicate), sales trainings are mostly basic. It's feast or famine depending on your territory and those industries' general interest in market research in the first place, and it takes a year to have a good chance of making money (though many never make more than their base salary the first year or two before they quit or get fired). I never made meaningful money here despite consistent success at other sales jobs. Many of the sales people tend to be people that are nursing a second/lesser income from their significant other's primary. IT is also not given the tools to help the company succeed and the infrastructure is a mess. Senior management (mostly from the United Kingdom) make their political opinions very clear and they do so in company meetings, which I found unprofessional. Company is stingy with funds for outings

Pros

Great work-life balance. Generally talented, friendly, and interesting coworkers. Beautiful office. Interesting and comprehensive product.

Cons

Can't recommend this company for an aspiring salesperson. On average, 1/3 of all salespeople reach target per year. Lion's share of high quality territory & accounts is assigned to a small minority of individuals who have generally been at the company for a long time. Think 20% of the people make 80% of the commissions. Management, while not bad, has a lot of room for improvement. Managers are generally salespeople that have been promoted; sometimes this works, other times it doesn't. At this company, it seems that many sales managers lack true management expertise and skill set, often causing their team members to be frustrated and unsatisfied. In practice, it often happens that individual salespeople (not management) are held responsible for poorly planned & distributed territories not performing as well as the traditional strong areas. No 360-degree feedback system. Disputes with deals with the London HQ office end up with the US reps getting the short end of the stick 99% of the time. Regressive commission scheme is advertised as being generous, and it is if you're at or over 100%. If not, however, it is grossly tilted towards benefiting the "house" and leaving employees little chance to catch up once behind. I have seen this greatly hurt the morale of many salespeople here, and also lead to the high turnover rate.
