Pros

Large enough company to basically support economic swings, but too focused on perceived numbers rather than actual sales and subscriber projections.

Cons

Revolving door of middle management - no consistency in policy from region to region. In 2 years, I've seen 9 directors fired, demoted or leave in just one location. Compare that to 4 years ago when there was only 1 director that left. This is not about performance, it's about politics and the ever-changing VP regimes and local managing directors. There is a new one of either approximately every 9 months and they install the non-performing management from their previous system. Esser can't see this and it's a significant factor in low employee morale, increased turnover, and subscriber churn.

Pros

Company benefits Unlimited PTO Ability to work from home Diverse portfolio

Cons

Commission plan designed to minimize/cap rep payouts Too many commission errors that reps must audit to catch/find Declining order management - implementation performance Rash of customer disconnects and directly impact commissions - new sales Lack of and very difficult for clients to get basic admin level support Cloud sales very difficult to win with limited resources and payouts get offset by disconnects Poor VP and director level sales leadership, greatly lacking experience, client interaction, product knowledge, follow through, and overall sales acumen- polish.
