Pros

HR is trying very hard to rebuild and create a better culture, but the headwinds against them, projected by the CEO, are incredibly strong and present significant challenges. Outside of that, there are zero pro's. This place does not view people as human beings. The CEO and COO are not afraid to say that they "bought you." I understand some sales teams have a better culture, but unsure which ones. The marketing team has serious opportunities for improvement, to put it nicely.

Kontras

- No benefits, 401k, anything, until after 90 days. Turnover is incredibly high because they do not value culture. Any mention of that will make the CEO's eyes roll into the back of his head. - In my first week, I was forced to read off a script to fire someone who was on my team for a reason I did not agree with, and the day prior watched another team member receive his final warning for a simple mistake. They rule the company with a culture of fear and overwatch. - Orwellian monitoring: Teramind is the software they use to monitor employee productivity - that is not as benign as it sounds. The CEO will surreptitiously watch people conduct meetings or watch a live-stream of their workday. Google the software and you'll see how this company does not give an ounce of trust to their employees - it is the most intrusive monitoring platform out there. - - In my second week during hiring, in an internal meeting, the CEO indicated to myself and a recruiter that we should screen out candidates based on age - The equipment is antiquated and clearly a reflection of the CEO's desire to reduce operating expenses at all costs. - Incredibly inflexible. Advertises remote position as a perk, but you're required to be in one location all the time. If you leave your desk for 5 minutes to use the bathroom, your computer locks, and an inactivity alert is sent to Teramind, so that the CEO knows how long it takes you to pee, on average. - The sales team are not allowed to use their machines outside of 8am to 12pm and 1pm to 5pm Eastern. - To describe the CEO as "hands on" would be putting it nicely. He's the guy who coached the worst micromanager you've already ever had. - Zero diversity. There are small global sales teams and some South American based

Pros

Many of the negative reviews I’ve read on Glassdoor do not reflect my experience. I’ve never felt monitored or spied on, and no one has ever pressured employees to leave reviews. My manager is the best I’ve worked with, and the other managers I’ve met have been equally supportive and professional. The onboarding process is excellent. The company gives you the time and training needed to understand the business, the market, and the sales approach. Whenever I needed help, I received it. I’ve never felt alone and have always found support from both managers and colleagues. This is a demanding job, but the company genuinely invests in helping people improve and succeed. Like any remote company, there are tools to ensure accountability, but they are not used to constantly monitor employees. The expectation is simple: if you’re working remotely, you’re expected to work and deliver results. Overall, I’ve had a very positive experience and am genuinely happy to be part of the company.

Kontras

One area where the onboarding process could be improved is training on internal systems and day-to-day operational tasks. The company does an excellent job teaching the market, the sales process, how to run demos, handle calls, and close deals. However, I believe more time could be dedicated to practical training on internal tools and procedures, such as sending contracts, opening accounts, and navigating the company’s internal software.

Pros

None at all worth listing

Kontras

Heavy employee monitoring runs constantly. Step away for five minutes and your computer locks. Bathroom breaks register as inactivity. The premise is that you’re slacking until proven otherwise, and the tooling exists to catch you. The metrics this surveillance feeds are no better. Call volume targets are set at levels that effectively require contacting customers who have explicitly and repeatedly asked not to be contacted, because the alternative is missing the number. You torch the relationships you’re supposedly responsible for, in service of dashboards leadership likes. Customers hate it. You hate it. Leadership doesn’t care. Compensation is opaque by design. Bonus eligibility is gated on metrics calculated from internal systems with known accuracy issues. Requests for breakdowns get policy language instead of data. Verbal commitments from managers don’t survive contact with HR. The handbook describes a progressive discipline process. In practice it doesn’t exist. Terminations come without warning and conveniently timed. Then there’s leadership. The CEO’s children hold senior roles they are visibly unqualified for, making decisions about comp, strategy, and customer policy with no apparent understanding of the actual business. Every “leadership has decided” announcement reflects it. Document everything from day one. Save it somewhere the company cannot reach.
