Pros
Good earning potential if you can consistently close deals. Strong product reputation in the market which helps open doors. Commission can be attractive in the short term if you perform well.
Kontras
Low base salary relative to the amount of work and pressure expected in the role. You are heavily reliant on commission to make the role worthwhile, which adds additional stress. Very political environment with clear favouritism towards long-tenured employees. Senior leadership tends to prioritise rehiring former employees from years ago instead of investing in new talent and fresh ideas. There is a disconnect between asking for innovation and actually enabling it. Lack of support from leadership, especially for newer hires. Decisions are often biased towards those who have been at the company for 5+ years, making progression feel based on relationships rather than performance. High pressure sales culture with little margin for error. One bad quarter and you are quickly placed on performance plans, which creates a constant sense of instability rather than long-term development. Sales environment can be frustrating, you can close a deal and still have other reps asking for splits despite minimal involvement. This creates internal conflict and reduces motivation. Overall not a good place if you are looking to build a long-term career or maintain a healthy work environment.
