no good career advancement after you hit senior executive status. the job you're doing stays the same regardless of whether you get promoted from rep to exec etc. they'll show you a career path with quick opportunities for promotions but all these promotions mean is a little bump on your base salary (5k each promotion). you're cranking out calls everyday giving mostly the same pitch to merchants.
the job gets very repetitive and mundane. you could be doing the exact same thing one week to another but not see the type of performance (sales) you saw previously. you can't control how high quality the leads you pull on a certain day are or how receptive the people you talk to will be. a lot of times you can only control your success to a certain degree. this might be a stressful work environment for some you may be above quota one week or even one month but then it resets and you start from scratch again. can get stressful having to constantly worry about hitting quota. I had never done sales previous to this job and overestimated my ability or desire to cold call. you should think hard about whether you want to be making 100+ outbound calls a day trying to persuade people who don't want to buy your product to buy. sales is hard and cold calling sucks unless it's what you're really passionate about.
They'll say in the interview that top performers are making up to $80-90,000 but keep in mind these are only a handful of people and given the stressful and repetitive nature of cold calling it's not common people are consistently performing at these levels. Few reps (maybe 15-20% out of the entire company) are making $40-45,000+ per year. You could be hitting your minimum quota every month and only make a little over $30,000 per year.
