Pros

Everyone has said it, but the people here are great, you can make some great friends and it's a very casual atmosphere. If you take the initiative, you can work on other cool projects, but you are on your own.

Kontras

Internal management is terrible. I felt that some sales managers had a great potential to actually help you grow, but they were forced to follow metrics that served as a blanket for the whole sales floor. Also there's a high turnover rate of managers leads to little mentoring for reps. It's typical to have a different manager every 3-4 mos Job security is pretty terrible. "Water cooler chats" are centered around who got fired, what warning level you are at, and what you can do to hit minimums so you don't advance your warning level. This leads to a very negative work environment

Pros

No pro’s whatsoever. If you’re thinking about joining this company, save yourself a headache and run.

Kontras

“Burn and churn” culture with minimal long-term investment in employees. Limited support and inconsistent coaching from management. Quarterly quotas frequently change, directly impacting compensation and making earnings unpredictable. Commission, if you’re lucky to get any, gets paid every 3 months- if terminated, you lose out on THOUSANDS of your hard earned money Compensation does not align with responsibilities—BDRs are often expected to perform full-cycle sales functions similar to Account Executives on a low base salary, ($40,000) Once placed on a performance plan, there is little path to recovery and increased scrutiny follows. High-pressure onboarding environment—new hires are expected to close deals quickly, with limited ramp time. Promotions appear inconsistent and not always based on performance, which can impact team morale and leadership quality. Concerns raised to leadership or HR are not always addressed in a transparent or timely manner.
