Pros

PTO accrual is good Benefits are decent

Cons

Where to start? So many to list. 1. Recruiters will straight up lie to get you in the door. They will tell you the large majority of reps on the floor are above plan and making well into 6 figures. Here’s the reality. Last month less than 1% of SAEs hit goal and this month around 14% hit goal. 2. Toxic positivity culture. You aren’t allowed to speak negative, at all, even if you have legit concerns around deals, inbound leads etc. Speak negative and you’ll be out the door. 3. The recruiters tell you they have so many inbound leads that they don’t have enough reps to handle them. This is a lie, as an SAE you will receive 2-3 inbound leads a week to work on a good week and 1 on a bad week. Many of these leads aren’t truly qualified or in a position to buy, but you must work them “because it’s our job to convince them” 4. Sleezy car salesman discount tactics to “maintain leverage” (If you put your credit card on file today, I’ll have to make a strong business case to get your discount approved) 5. Mining. My gosh, what a joke mining is. You’re required to mine leads daily from a list of people dating back from 2017 that have asked to be taken off the telemarking list at least 5 times, do T even know who BambooHR is, bad emails and phone numbers etc. 6. Bad management. If you take a look at all of BambooHR sales leaders, they have never worked for any other organization. This is by design, it’s a parrot like culture where everyone echos each other. They don’t hire outside management or leadership for fear their fake utopia would crumble. 7. If you’re an external hire you will not succeed here. BambooHR knows this and they have stopped hiring externally because of the amount of careers they have ruined. Instead of taking responsibility for their mismanagement they now have begun spinning it and placing it on the reps in an attempt to put people on PIPs and downsize the company. 7. Oh, one more thing. Their inbound lead round robin system is rigged. Don’t believe me? Call chillipiper and ask them how you can manipulate the round robin to favor certain reps ;)

Pros

Good benefits, paid paid vacation is nice, and base pay isn't the worst.

Cons

Company values are solid until the workload starts to increase, wish we were just paid more instead of having a paid paid bonus.
