Pros
Pockets of talented people. Previous plus's included (what made it fun to work at ActOn in the past) 1) everyone was passionate about the company, our place in the market and respected and enjoyed each-other. 2) Tons of recognition for the hard work 3) Trips with friends and family - aka many of your colleagues were just that 4) Catered lunches 5) Lots of social gatherings and outings to blow off steam and connect with coworkers. 6) We actually hit our sales targets - lots and lots of people over 100% of their sales quotas (new insecure leadership downplays this big time and says it wasn't good business) All $50 million of it..... 7) Our CS Team really took good care of our customers - they really cared and it showed in their work. 8) Our TS Team was fantastic 9) Marketing actually generated leads 10) The leadership team didn't have drunken affairs with employees The downward spiral started when KJ joined the company and started bringing over all the jive flunkies.
Cons
Disingenuous people. Power hungry untalented and uninspired people joining the company in Portland over the last few years.They think giving it 100% is strolling in at 9am, closing their doors, taking an hour and half lunch and then going to drink beer and wine at 3pm. Ohh and then swing back by the office and walk the floor to see who is still there before cutting out soon after. I cannot believe that the Board has no idea what a terrible job the executive team is doing. Just look at the growth Act-On had in the first 5-years. 90% of the people there today had nothing to do with the growth and have no idea what to do to reignite it.
