Pros
Bagel Fridays. They have a ping pong table you could use at one point until they started to monitor. Co-workers were cool but most are gone now. Decent pay.
Cons
I bet this was a great company to work for one time (in its infancy back in San Diego/Seattle). That time is gone now. As a sales rep, the markets you are selling into are saturated. Your products really aren't that much better than the competition and they are more expensive. Additionally, your quotas are essentially unattainable unless you get a lucky inbound lead (which probably won't transact, so you may not even be paid on it). You will be micro-managed from the time you hit the floor. Deals over a certain size you will be expected to give reports to Senior Management. These deals will never close (no matter how great of a salesperson you are) for various reasons that are completely out of your control, but you will be on the chopping block as a result. There were multiple times where deals were killed because management had reps over-pursue deals in their pipeline, deals that would have gone through eventually had the reps not been forced to hound the potential clients to get the deal in by the end of a certain week/month. Management personnel are puppets for the CEO and the equity group that owns Active. They fear for their jobs so they try to extend that fear to you. They strongly encourage you to work overtime without you receiving compensation for it (especially at the end of quarters). Many were under qualified but happened to be at the right place at the right time and received promotions to re-locate from San Diego/Seattle to Dallas. Like other reviewers have suggested, based on the common goal of management to add whatever deals you can to your pipeline, the equity group must be looking to sell soon. The CEO (google him, as he would say) is probably one of the most vile, awful human beings I have ever encountered in my life. Just wait until he tells you about how much money he has and what he spends it on. He is all that is wrong with Active. There is absolutely no future to this company. It doesn't matter if you get promoted because this company probably won't exist much longer. Career growth is irrelevant here. Some additional things that make you hate this place: The recruiters are full of it. They will try to sell you on earnings potential, the office, the attire, etc. Don't let them fool you the way they did me. They are the best salespeople in this company (not really, they just have better resources to trick you). And they also have job stability because the turnover here is ridiculous. The parking/transportation situation is a joke. They give you $50 for parking per month. Good luck finding anything close to the office for under $100 with open spots, let alone anything in Downtown Dallas for $50. You can ride the DART for $80 a month so you are still paying out of pocket (although most likely saving on gas). BE WARNED, if you choose this method you will most likely have a minimum hour and a half commute each way to the office. The bathroom situation is a complete disaster. A complete lack of stalls and also lack of toilet paper, paper towels, soap. Its disgusting. Its a hassle getting issues resolved from other departments in a timely manner. Everyone here is new, and management most likely was promoted within the last year to their current roles so nobody really has answers to questions. It can takes days (even weeks) to find a simple resolution to an issue, especially if it involves other departments.
