Pros

Worked with a great group of people. I was brought on to be a strategic and senior level account executive, but they eventually turned all of sales into a call center. The senior reps who were were good at sales moved on. There was still a good work life balance when I was there, but I'm not sure what became of that when I left. Decent products in a flooded market, attainable quotas. Might still be a good FIRST JOB out of college, unfortunately anyone worth a damn has moved on so look for RESUME EXPERIENCE but not for career growth.

Cons

Commission structure is smoke and mirrors. They fluff it up like your gonna make great money, but it is such a lie. I saw through their 'new and improved' comp plan, called them out on it and middle management was embarrassed and said I was right, but they couldn't do anything.

I was brought on to be a strategic and senior level account executive, but they eventually turned all of sales into a call center. If you were not a sheep and fall in line, you were quickly outed as a 'bad seed and they would try to make your life miserable (I witnessed on multiple accounts). 2 year tenure had me with 5 different managers. One of them was great, but he quickly wised up and split. The rest were fools, either not knowing how to manage, or not knowing how to sell. Senior management would read a book, then implement a bunch of policies, then read a new book and implement different policies. Much of the middle and upper management was promoted within (at least in the sales side) was in place simply because they've been there a while, not for skill/ability.

Pros

Coworkers were awesome. Soda & iced coffee machines. Active X created a really fun culture, even if you weren't a die-hard workout fanatic.

Cons

Micromanagement. Exec team has a very short term focus which leads them to think solely about their own wallets. Pay is below industry average (fairly common to hear those who left say they made substantially more in an equivalent position). The exec team does not care about employees. They simply want to squeeze every individual for all that they have. Lead by fear. Unethical Do not care about the customers anymore. Think that the technology is state of the art, but it is far from it.

Pros

The people were great. We had the best, hardworking team ever and although we worked long hours it didn't bother anyone because you were truly working for a cause.

Cons

-Pay was horrible for our department. In fact we were the lowest paid department - Active was sold, then they sold our department and then that company let us go. -Management was great until the company went public and almost all the good folks left. I hate to see what is coming, but it is obviously not good.
