Extremely high expectations and intense workload. If you're comfortable in this type of environment, you can make a ton of money.

Not a bad place to work if you can manage your time and are comfortable working at a fast pace. Plenty of earnings to be made if you're willing to work for them.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.

They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great.
