Pros

Have some good & talented people on the sales and engineering teams. Sales Team is young and hungry for success, with lots of talent. Deep bench of technical resources Offers 24x7 support Flexibility to work hybrid or remote as needed Good Technology Solutions Hire Military Veterans that are looking to start a career in technology

Cons

Culture is toxic and unhealthy and starts at the top with executive management. Sales Org is poorly run by a leadership team that have a legacy mindset, will micro-manage, and unwilling to adapt to change. Sales Compensation Plans are complex, confusing, and change year to year. Low attainment and no bonus incentives. Unethical and Unacceptable behavior by the President of the company towards current employees and technology partners. Personal boundaries are dis-regarded like being required to join meetings while on PTO, or attend video calls while driving. Quotas are unrealistic and unattainable, especially for new hires. High turnover rate, roughly 50 people have left the organization in the last 18 months. Corporate Holidays do not include Veterans Day, MLK, or Juneteenth. Broken processes and legacy tools make it difficult to sell or get things done efficiently. Company has been trying to sell for the last few years.

Thank you for your feedback. Compensation plans are certainly not easy to construct but the management team works diligently to provide plans that drive the proper behavior, incents high performance and cares for the well-being of the Sales associate. Throughout the year, the compensation plans are reviewed to determine if the plan is accomplishing what is desired. If not, the plan is adjusted to assist the Sales associate and Cerium to achieve mutually beneficial financial targets. The Cerium management team is always open for ideas and suggestions to improve compensation plans and will act upon balanced and well thought out approaches. Thanks again for your feedback. -Roger Junkmermier, President
