Pros

- Chicago office is in a Trophy Building at Wacker/Madison - EXCELLENT product offering - No direct competitors - Chicago sales reps are good people - They finally got an HR person and she's working hard to keep things balanced and put new things into place to help the company grow - New sales director recently hired (sales previously reported to CEO directly) - Base salary is OK - Paid ZoomInfo and/or LinkedIn Sales Navigator - Fully-paid health care (United Healthcare) - HR is great

Cons

- No proper training - Scheduled lunch time - VERY rigid with time off - No culture or stated company values - "Rookie" CEO and CTO's first attempt at running a company, and it shows - They will lowball you on salary (expect to negotiate) - Night meetings sometimes last from 5:15pm until 6:15pm - Excel and Google Sheets are the norm, as the CRM they have isn't utilized - No marketing person (he quit a few months after he started) - Farm your own leads to even have a chance of success - CTO has longer-term employees spy on newer people for various reasons - CTO scolds the great employees on our development team in front of everyone for minor mistakes (in the way a father scolds his 11-year-old son) - There are two "sales reps" that are given de facto managerial status and all of the top-tier accounts regardless of territory - Most sales reps quit or are fired within 2-4 months - You will regularly be threatened in weekly meetings where the CEO verbally abuses you in front of your coworkers if he thinks your pipeline isn't growing quickly enough - By all reasonable accounts, this is not a serious operation for anyone other than the CEO, CTO, and their 2 "favorites" who they give all of the accounts and pay them to go to trade shows.

As you may already know, workplace dynamics are different for an emerging IT company as opposed to that of an established organization.
