Pros

They are very strict about only working 40 hours per week.

Cons

No commissions. They put sales sales staff on "weeklong" performance plans AKA you have ONE WEEK to improve or else they'll fire you. I'm looking for a new job ASAP in case I have a bad month this month.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We continually ask for open communication and feedback so we encourage you to be open internally with your manager as well. Performance development in sales and at BambooHR is actually different than described. Our employees have one on ones with their manager every week so they should always know how they're doing and where their performance is at. In sales, if someone is consistently not performing well, we will be open with them about what performance metrics need to be met and by which deadlines. We want our people to be successful and that is always our focus so we have a lot of resources to help in that effort. We have a different compensation structure than many other companies but consistently do market research to make sure that we're compensating our people fairly. Thanks again for sharing your feedback and we hope that you're able to have a great experience here.
