Great place to learn how to sell. Great training programs. Good quality of work life balance. Management for the most part is good

Lack of opportunity to manage unless willing to relocate. In Sales much depends on the territory you receive to be successful.

Pros

Great training program, high caliber of new hires in your program and other partnering program. Good pay and benefit package when you assume the best.

Cons

You can have a shortage of payroll reps who feed you 80% of your business, so you have to make up for it elsewhere, while you have a limited territory. You are held accountable for your quotas, but no accountability exists for conditions conducive to your success (i.e. inflow of new clients, productive internal partners etc.
