Experience level: Junior

Corporate machine that pays very well and incentives you appropriately
Pros: - Best starting sales salary you can find
- Constant learning opportunities with mandatory class
- Great base pay
- Bonus structure is fair and encourages collaboration within your virtual network
- Solid Fortune 100 company that isn't going anywhere in the short-term future
Cons: - Boston is expensive - a great salary is canceled out if you aren't careful where you choose to live
- Corporate size company means you follow orders with little to no ability to make changes or even influence change
- Unless you live in Waltham or Woburn (close cities), expect a 45-minute drive regardless of where you live
- Expect to only receive your base pay in your spending budget planning - your bonus payout has more to do with what product and what team your assigned to, not your hard work
- This role is historically 1-1.5 years long before promotion eligibility - expect the role to become a boring grind (cold calling and emailing over and over) after about 3-5 months
