Pros

easy product knowledge. our service works. never any issues our Sales Engineer is unbelievably talented NYC management is phenomenal. I am lucky to have a great manager and a Director that is irreplaceable.

Cons

i have seen it all here. the good and the bad. these last 3 months have been awful and it all stems from the CEO. he belittles every person here on his global calls. we are replaceable, we stole time when we were working from home, this is a dictatorship. what is funny is we never hear from our CRO about these important topics. just another YES man. actually he is worthless. When the CEO says that we are more productive in the office and sales were down. how is that possible when i know i had one of best years and so do my office. just absolute lies.

Pros

You mostly get paid on time. Sometimes your manager may be in a good enough mood to give you a lead.

Cons

Dialing for dollars. This is not an outside sales position as they bill it but a slave shop boiler room telemarketing gig. Don’t make the days quota for dials expect to be called out in front of your region. You will be hard pressed to not become so stressed out that you become physically ill. Office is disgusting and coworkers are on par with that. Sexist and absolutely crude people. Do not recommend.
