Pros

For the most part, there is decent job security. The benefits are OK, except when it comes to time off, they are very stingy. The pay was OK for me, but is still below industry standard.

Kontras

The way they motivate their employees is by yelling at them, and watching them like hawks. The job is extremely demoralizing, and you will never feel good about anything you do. When I first started, they were comparing my abilities to people who had been there 1 year saying I was not doing a good job. When I was there for a year, they compared me to people who were there 5 years, same thing, telling me I wasn't doing a good job. Every review was absolutely negative, without a single positive ANYTHING. Overall, extremely negative atmosphere, I was nitpicked for coming in 5 minutes late, and taking a 15 minute break every so often when I was on SALARY. Awful work environment, it's like everyone there is miserable and wants you to be too.

Pros

Lots of apps and gadgets are nice...when they work, but many of them don't work and tech support can't figure that out.

Kontras

Micro-management to the Nth degree; meetings all day; training part of every day; and you'll still get manager calls to ask what you are going to do, what you've done, and what you will do, every single day, and how you're going to get 8 hours of sales calls into your day after wasting 5 hours on managers check-ins and meetings. Expectations are that you'll work long days, evenings and weekends either regularly or on a moments notice--you will have NO personal life. Rookie sales tactics, shotgun scatter tactics, and insanely high prospect call requirements will make a majority of your territory clients hate your guts (Denver manager wants 500 customer contacts per week! And I only had 215 prospects accounts). Many of my clients pleaded and begged me to leave them alone because me and the past 4 reps (in only 2 years) have been phoning, emailing and texting constantly. Some of them were former clients who dropped us for bad service, so there is no need to call but you'll have to. Some of them previously and respectfully let us do a demo, make a pitch, and give a quote, but then chose our competitor, and yet the Denver boss would insist that I call them twice a week indefinitely...just in case. The commission contract is 27 pages long and excludes everything under the sun. They will even take paid commissions back from you if the install team messes up and the customer cancels the contract. And then if you can stomach all that misery, you will likely make 1/3 of what they tell you to expect to make. NOBODY makes what they tell you is the ANNUAL AVERAGE except for 2 to 5 reps who get lucky with big deals and then never repeat that again, so it isn't an average for anyone, not even the top 1% of hundreds of sales reps. In a nutshell, this is big corporate misery and lies and privacy invasion like you have NEVER seen before. Try it at your own risk, and suffer.
