BambooHR reviews

The monthly quota can be a killer some months and I've lost sleep over it. I wish it was quarterly. Company is growing really fast and the changes are rapid. New products launching, pricing changes, changes to the commission structure, lead distribution changes. The commissions can be volatile however you have the potential to make over six figures which several reps are doing. Yes there are a lot of growing pains in sales and I wish they would respond quicker to the issues but overall it's a great place to work.

The biggest con I've seen working here is the treatment towards the sales department. (Which is sad to see) The sales department is treated like the red-headed stepchild. One of the owners (I won't say names) is always mentioning how he hates salespeople and how he doesn't like to spend money. In other departments this is seen as a joke but couldn't be more real. Every change I've seen the last couple months has not been for the benefits of the sales reps. Quota has been adjusted so now less than 20% of the floor hits it (and even less hit accelerator). We no longer get paid for add-ons. Which at times are needed in order to close the deal and almost double your deal size. Leads are now distributed in a weird way. As Senior Account Executives we use to receive 3-4 leads a day and now we're lucky if we get 4 sets a week. All these changes have translated to seeing reps take a 30k pay cut on their commissions. There’s been a huge increase on turnover, and for employees like me that have been here for a while, a lost of trust. A lost of trust that management is not doing the right thing for their employees. It's sad to see. If you've been in other sales organizations you're in for a surprise. -Lower pay than other SaaS companies in the area -MLM incentives (meaning, unrealistic incentives that no one can hit) -Changes every month that affect your paycheck. (and not in a good way) -And phrases like..."weather the storm"...or..."We don't want to pay you too much...We only want to pay you what's fair for Bamboo". Like I mentioned previously. This is a great place to work with great culture (unless you're in sales).
