Pros

There's a high earning potential off of commission. There was constant interaction between BDRs in group chats, email chains sharing sales wins, and team meetings which made the day entertaining. Warm leads were provided from time to time which helped to meet quota attainment.

Cons

They require 125 calls a day which was a bit excessive for the base pay you're getting. It's hard to have high quality conversations with leads from the limited training you get on product knowledge and customer pain points. Eventually a cap was put on the max commission that could be earned from a single deal.

Pros

The new ELT has been making a lot of changes to shift Quest to newer products, focus, and GTM strategies. This has been much needed, and the future looks much brighter. Regardless of the changes, the culture of respect and inclusivity and people-support has remained. I would refer Quest as an employer, especially the Legal department, to anyone I know.

Cons

As with any period of changes and redirected focus, there has been some turmoil in reductions, tool/platform changes, etc. This would be a tough environment for anyone who has trouble adapting.
