8 recent reviews from Verkada sales reps on Glassdoor reveal dissatisfaction with how sales territories are assigned.

Two reviews note being assigned an unfavorable territory but having the same quota as someone with a favorable territory, as this Dec 28 Verkada review notes:

***** ********* *** *** **** ***** (NY **** *** **** ***** ** South ******** ****...) - ** ****** EVERY *** ** ** ********* - $550K *** ****** ***** # (**** luck ** ***'** *** ** * major ****.)

The ********** *** ***** and will say anything to get you to move across the country just to give you a split territory with no current customers or channel support where you basically do not stand a chance. You can make far more money for this amount of work in other sales jobs. [emphasis added]
