Typical day at work

Senior Software Sales Representative III (Current Employee) – Herndon, VA – July 2, 2014

I manage accounts through the entire sales cycle starting with a mix of prospecting, working warm leads and running sales demonstrations. Pipeline management is also part of my daily routine and I document everything in Salesforce. I am also responsible for building contracts, executing sales orders and offering immediate post-sales support.

Company no longer exists

Small Business Sales Executive (Former Employee) – Morrisville, NC – January 5, 2018

Company no longer exists, it has been acquired by a competitor. Forcing people to write these reviews is extremely irritating and not appreciated in any way.

Good place to work, with some reservations

PRWeb Editor (Current Employee) – Beltsville, MD – April 26, 2017

Due to restructuring, many jobs were shifted lately. They hire right out of college, which is appreciated. Good work culture, but unsure if it will survive restructuring.

constant change

Sales Consultant (Former Employee) – Herndon, VA – September 16, 2014

It started out as a very fun place, but the company eventually started targeting the wrong audience for their products. They have since been bought and I hope the organization will refocus itself to the proper market for their products as they did have a good solution for the right clients.

Great at first, then not so much

Senior Marketing Sales Consultant (Former Employee) – Beltsville, MD – July 18, 2014

You can make a lot of money here if you put in the effort. Managers can be great, or they can be awful, its really a toss up.

Pros

Gym, bball court, food trucks

Cons

High pressure environment, very very high turnover

Great place to be if you want to feel like your in college

Marketing and Sales Executive (Former Employee) – Herndon, VA – July 16, 2014

It all depends on your manager. If you have a good one, who puts in the effort to train and help you improve - and you work hard you may make it. Otherwise, RUN!

Sadly, it went from good to terrible

Mid- Market Sales Executive (Current Employee) – Beltsville, MD – June 30, 2014

Really enjoyed working here when I first started. If I knew that it would turn into a place where the sales reps were more like telemarketers, call time monitored, lack of scheduled meetings that were promised, and looked at negatively for leaving your desk between 8:30am -5:30pm ; I never would have started.

I love the management team that was in place but due to company direction the job turned the wrong direction.

Very laid back work environment

Inside Sales Coordinator (Former Employee) – Beltsville MD – June 25, 2014

Calling to set appointments for inside sales reps to sale software via a live in house webinar. I learned all about Public Relations, and how a software makes a PR or Marketing agent job so much easier. Management are laid back but micro managing from a systems stand point. The hardest part about this job is getting a certain volume of potential clients to agree to a webinar. The most enjoyable part is the laid back atmosphere and kind people

Pros

Great product

Cons

Lousy pay

DO NOT APPLY, unless you're just desperate for a job

Product Expert (Former Employee) – Morrisville, NC – June 13, 2014

Upper management seems to have little concern for their employees. They have a very high turn over rate, and it's because they seem to fire people just because they don't like him/her. You have to be an a** kisser to advance in this company.

Pros

..........????

Cons

micro managed, tight schedule, little pay, nonchalant attitude from managers, shall I continue???

Sharp people, little chance for advancement

Systems Engineer (Current Employee) – Beltsville – June 11, 2014

The teams at Vocus are generally friendly and easy to work with. Unfortunately there is much room for advancement as many of the managerial positions are filled by long time employees.

Productive Workplace and good introduction to Media Research

Media Research Associate (Current Employee) – College Park, MD – April 29, 2014

Vocus is a good place to work. The hours could be better but if your in college or looking to do something media related, Vocus is a good place to start.

Vocus is...

Manager of Deliverability (Current Employee) – Morrisville, NC – February 28, 2014

Generally Vocus is a good place to work. In 2012 Vocus acquired Durham based email service provider iContact, of which I had been apart of for 5 years. Vocus' headquarters is in Beltsville Maryland.

Pros

Free Starbucks coffee, free soda, monthly manager lunches

Needs Improvement

Mid-Market Sales Executive (Former Employee) – Herndon, VA – February 4, 2014

They are making necessary changes that should've been implemented a long time ago by the executive level. As an organization, out of touch with the very industry it seeks to do business within. Credibility is lacking as they are only recently beginning to incorporate some of the same practices they sell to clients.

Pros

young, motivated work force

Cons

limited training and support at managerial level
