Pros

Never a lack of work - stimulating environment with lots of changes. Keeps things interesting. CEO has great vision and excellent ability to articulate that to employees. He's more connected to the business than any other CEO i've worked for.

Cons

Terrible pay and absolutely no checks and balances between what executives are doing and what is "right" to do per HR/Corporate standards. Management will give you more work if you do your work well but never a pay raise. In fact, this company is known to give "title changes" without any money to go with it - they will just roll a pay increase into your cost of living increase instead (a raise you would have received anyways). Huge lack of feedback on performance and encouragement on a job well done. The management seems to do what they want in regards to compensation. There isn't a lot of opportunity for growth and no rhyme or reason to compensation based on education and experience. Very disheartening! Also, managers really do no manage anything. This company is still highly micromanaged by executives, especially when it comes to budget. They have high expectations about what they want you to accomplish but don't give you the resources to be able to manage those results.

Thank you for your feedback and your continued efforts to make Applied a world class organization. Applied puts forth significant effort into creating an environment which provides equal opportunity to all members of Team Applied, including rewarding performance under our compensation programs regardless of team member gender or other demographic considerations. In addition, as the business continues to grow we are increasing the level of accountability our leaders have, along with expanded authority, to manage their respective parts of the organization. We encourage any employee who feels there is an issue in these areas to reach out to their management, or alternatively to our HR organization. As always, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss any concerns you have directly and encourage you to reach out to me to discuss further.

Good Atmosphere, low pay

Pros

Good team dynamic, almost like family. Always willing to help and look out for each other, answer questions, etc.

Cons

Not enough pay. Lots of work to do with no time to do it, but it is expected to be done, whether you are flying to the next place or not. Supposed to be at least a week a month of down/no travel to catch up, pretty much non existent. No pay increases in sight.

Account Manager - Great Experience, Low Pay

Pros

learned a lot about selling and sales processes. Great experience learning how to do complex SaaS sales.

Cons

Pay not what the market bears for software sales unless you are looking for an entry level job. You are also micromanaged on everything you do. very metric driven. It's always what you are not doing or doing wrong and never a good job for helping bring in a lot of money for the company.
