Pros

I liked my teammates NOT my manager

Cons

Where do I begin? This company shoves its company values down your throat but DOESN'T live by them. sales roles are SEVERELY underpaid based on the market. My manager tried to get me to quit. Management is a sham and doesn't look out for anyone but themselves. they are very into transactional sales and only care about closing deals. This role doesn't benefit anyone except those in upper management/leadership. My manager critiqued my personality and said I don't have situational fluency and that I sounded uncomfortable. training for this role was all over the place and didnt feel like we were set up for success... instead to fail. I am NEVER working for a Utah based company again because i know I will be working with a bunch of Mormons that use politics to justify their actions. unrealistic quota attainment. PS. as of late, they only hire Utah based employees.

Terrible pay!

Pros

They are remote-friendly and also will reimburse up to $2,000 for vacations once a year. It is paid out as a bonus though, so expect it to be taxed around 35%...... This is a good place if you are an AE with very little experience to get more, but compensation-wise, I'd go elsewhere.

Cons

The compensation is the worst I have seen industry-wide. For selling into HR, our benefits as far as PTO, health, etc are extremely mediocre at best. The rest of the tech industry has much better benefits and compensation.

Pros

Great training, and well developed systems.

Cons

Way below market salary structure, with an OTE that's not realistic based on the base and commission formula. Unclear - and rare promotion opportunities, that worsened significantly with changes implemented in 2023.
