      Horrible Experience

      Pros

      Loved my coworkers and the office space is very clean. I believe this company would be great if Apollo did not buy them out.

      Cons

      For starters, training was useless. I felt like I was taught nothing and that it was the blind leading the blind. Management was rarely, if ever, helpful. Sales goals were all over the place, never consistent. I never truly felt like I had job security here and the pay was god awful, also there was no clear path on promotions either. I felt very limited with growth here. Also, don't bother putting in a 2 weeks notice here, you will be walked out day of no questions asked. I have NO respect for this company.

      HORRIBLE AND TOXIC WORKPLACE... RUN AWAY!!!

      Pros

      I can’t think of anything positive anymore.

      Cons

      Poor leadership, low salary, company was bought by Apollo and has been a nightmare since - the culture and benefits used to be awesome, now the company couldn’t be any worse. Layoffs and more layoffs and they treat their current employees with little respect.

      Not good!

      Pros

      When I started in 2015, the product still kind of worked (even if pricing was out of whack) Good people and training/development existed 2015-2016 There were once solid benefits and pay

      Cons

      When you're "easy to do business with", you end up letting a lot of outright or borderline fraudulent "employers" onto the site. Software isn't your product. Candidates are your product. When you don't care about how often they're spammed with irrelevant or fake jobs, they stop using your site. Zero leadership development. Sales managers were routinely put in positions that they weren't ready for, and given no support to improve their leadership skills. Luckily I got out of there before it really got bad, but I've heard horror stories about life there now. Management's obvious attempts to boost their ratings speak to how dumb they think their current and potential employees are. I get why they do it (I do not envy their recruiters), but it's painfully obvious when the ratings trend is so negative, but then 4-5 positive reviews pop up all at once. Try being more subtle folks!
