Pros

There were plenty, it was all smoke and mirrors unfortunately. Use what this company teaches you as a stepping stone into the tech industry. Learn as much as you can as quickly as you can then bail to a company that actually cares about its employees.

Cons

Recap of 15Oct21- Friday 10:00 EST, SDR meeting to go over new script and pump up product rework. 1:30 EST, pulled into a Zoom with someone I've never met and told my position was terminated immediately along with about 50 other SDR's. Only reason given was "restructuring departments" and given 2 weeks severance after a 2 minute meeting. No exaggeration, simply what happened.

Pros

- Great Benefits (to make up for low pay) - Exciting and flexible culture (overall) - ChowNow truly cares about their restaurant partners

Cons

- Illusion of upward mobility - Constant changes - Toxic Positivity - Refusal to acknowledge lack of success - Leadership gaslighting subordinates when they have concerns - SDR Senior Leadership is poor - High Turnover in sales org. - Quota is extremely high for the current market - SDRs work ethic questioned when performance is low due to market - Extremely slow product development team, they cant stay competitive - Low pay (unlivable at times) - Friction between Sales development, Inside sales, and Outside sales teams - SDRs who cut corners, step on toes, and create low quality high volume opps are praised Whatever you do, do not become an SDR at ChowNow, post pandemic. You are better off actually shooting yourself in the foot. If you are desperate for a job, accept this one and keep interviewing. The leadership base quotas off of mid 2020 numbers when they had more success than they could handle. The numbers are unattainable, 8-10 out of 40+ SDRs were hitting their fully ramped goal each month. The senior leadership is a joke, they were extremely condescending, contributed little to none to the team. Everyone literally started preforming worse once they were hired. The morale is low across the board in all of sales. It is alarming how many people have left in just the last 2 months. Also people across the board are very disrespectful to people who may have differing political views, including the CEO. Location is Kansas City for Anonymity

Leadership is incompetent

Pros

There's not much positives to working here anymore

Cons

Leadership is absolutely in over their heads, and the company is running on fumes. The only possible way that this company can survive is to sell to a company who has leaders who know what they're doing.
