A very difficult job. There are good people in leadership here and there, but the system itself fosters unhealthy competition for good leads/accounts. There is no policing for cheating as long as the company makes revenue, which has harmed several reps. I had the highest outbound calls/emails for several months in a row for my region, but without the right accounts, it was largely worthless. Effort is not rewarded--just result. There is no marketing effort, as it is only a B2B company. The sales rep is responsible for carrying the burden of branding while cold-calling. It's still possible, but not for the faint of heart. Also, the CEO has iterated multiple times that reps will never work from home unless they retire quota (which very few do), and it's only month to month.

There were some good things about my experience and some that were not so good. There are several things the company could improve on and make a big difference.

Company is solid financially and run very efficiently. First year is the hardest as you are building your book of business. It is a wiry from office 5 days per week from 8am-5pm. If you are willing to grind and work very hard, you can good money at a very stable business.
