Pros

-Great company culture. Smart and friendly co-workers. Supportive work environment. -Strong executive leadership who care about the people. -Massive addressable market, lots of opportunities for growth. -Great benefits and compensation. Flexible PTOs, free lunch, work from home.

Cons

-Manager has no experience or interest in developing, coaching or helping the team. -He is more concern about his own targets, has no idea on how to help the reps succeed. -Only appears when it's near quarter-end to chase reps to set more meetings. -More than half the team have not met their targets. Team morale has become very low. -Not open to feedback, loves to micro-manage, and often shoots down good ideas/initiatives. -Praise reps who hit their targets through questionable practices.
