German Software Company with office in Clearwater, FL
Pros
There's a good team environment at TeamViewer, Clearwater. Occasionally, they send employees off to Germany for training. The sales goals are not too difficult to meet and/or exceed. Management and other employees seem friendly, and there is an air of fun and excitement as every morning they crank up the music and recognize/reward top sales people and other dept. employees for different achievements (e.g. cash prizes and games). CEO and other foreign delegates show up and mingle with office personnel. They can be quite flexible with your time and days off, etc. It all depends on how you react to people and the environment. One hour lunch with full kitchen, bean bags and ping-pong table. Laid back office setting, and even a few scooters to get around on. Some folks wear shorts and sandals, others prefer jeans and a blazer. The company has been expanding operations and opening offices around the world -giving it a more international appearance. They provide you with a kind of 'spiff card' where every so often they reward everyone in the office with overall profits. Decent incentive compensation in the Sales Role, and competitive wages too. There exists a diverse, multinational stock of employees at TeamViewer. I think that's a pro, anyway.
Cons
In my short tenure at TeamViewer, I did not see many cons. Though, if you’re a Sales Rep. you must succeed in the Sales Dept. for a full year before even thinking of being promoted or transferring to another dept. Everyone is different. Some people don't like music blasting in their ears at 9:00 AM (especially when you're on the phone selling). Also, I noticed management tends to jump the gun on you if they assume you are "stealing leads" or doing anything questionable by their standards. You can easily be accused of wrongdoing if you don’t know your way around the sales culture there. If your sales are below average for two months in a row, you're gone. I noticed a number of good salespeople disappear for not meeting goals. However, there's no reason to steal leads, and I don't think it's a common practice there. Why would anyone be so covetous when the company shares and spreads gains among everyone? Advice for newbies to improve odds of succeeding in Sales: Try to get hired as a Customer Service Rep. first. Customer Service Reps. have certain insights on the software which salespeople seldom know. Customers can get pretty technical and are generally very knowledgeable. So, the more product knowledge you have, the better prepared you will be to succeed as an Inside Sales Rep.
