Pros

Great comp plan, uncapped earnings, regular incentives, opportunity to rapidly improve sales skills, sell to CxOs, but must be willing to put the work in and commit to performing. Great in-office culture.

Cons

Full-time in office, flexible working should be considered for established sales executives.
