Pros

Good market fit, low hours for sales

Cons

Cyclicality in the space due to customer timing, Massive quotas ($2M+) with low commissions (2.5-3.5%) and very convoluted pay structures. Attainment broadly based on landing massive deals that cannot be counted on given the segment's mixture of SMB/MM accounts. You can be talking to a borderline enterprise company and next meeting with a solo practitioner. You aren't going to sell $2M by talking to people who have $5k to spend and it sucks essentially being required to throw them to the side because you can't spend time on them and still hit your numbers.

Pros

Some of the direct Managers and team members but only because everyone sticks together because there constantly change and unclear expectations from upper management.

Cons

*Unclear commissions spread across multiple tracking systems that don't line up including sales done on various salesforce portals. Many teams members gave up trying to track or follow up because we were so busy. *They treat businesses like dollar signs and employees like numbers. *They "laid off" managers on the Tax/Audit team, some who had been with the company for decades and were the most supportive of their teams. *They are focused on buying up other software companies and products without having any protocols or streamlines in place for them, not to mention they still haven't properly done so for acquisitions in the last 5+ years.
