Pros

No good reason to work here!

Cons

Leadership does not understand business. Sale budget set my number of AE hired, not by historic sales data. My position should have never existed. I was given 3700 accounts to work. Only 500 hundred of them met company standards. I was set up to fail from the start. Leadership tells you to get it fixed. They don't show or tell you how to fix it. 6 months in and I had no Idea what products and equipment was available. I had to learn everything my self. I was sent to sales training. Even though I didn't know equipment we had access to. Had to learn how to quote my self. There is little to no employee tenure. So no one knows what to do!! Company is not innovative, or competitive with biggest competitors.

Pros

Company culture is great if you're at a location with decent human beings and I definitely felt supported by those with the same career path. If you're at the right location the experience can be good. There was a focus on career development at the first location I worked at. Unfortunately this was overshadowed by the lack of respect and utter disdain for my role at the second one. The first place lost their contract due to internal politics- the second one probably won't but they should.

Cons

GREATLY depends on local management. The first place I worked was amazing, at the second I was constantly treated to ableist microaggressions and literally told to shut up in a meeting where both the Director and a senior manager were present, and told "no one likes me" in a meeting WHERE HR WAS PRESENT. Extremely unprofessional behavior. They will NOT back you up, and it's very clear regional management doesn't care if a location is hemorrhaging staff due to poor management practices as long as they get paid and keep the "client" happy.
