Great people lead by a egotistical tyrant - Sales Backstop Solutions Employee Review

Pros

Flexible work, unlimited PTO, stocked kitchen and company outings.

Cons

Dysfunctional and hostile work environment as a result of poor leadership, specifically the CEO. Privilege and entitlement from inheriting a golf course and running a hedge fund that failed is not management/leadership experience. He thinks he's a know it all and will be the first to belittle and criticize employees using profanity either in person or behind their backs. He's made many people cry because of his verbal assaults and many people have quit as a result. Backstop is a sinking ship after spending the majority of the money raised back in Oct 2018 and this might be the last chapter of the CEO trying to prove his worth to all his affluent friends.

At Backstop, we know that feedback fuels our growth and progress, and we thank you for taking the time to share yours. We agree that the great people at Backstop are a special standout quality of the company. We are glad you took full advantage of the perks the company offers like working remote, unlimited PTO, stocked kitchens in all offices and generous budgets for company outings. We strive to support our employees and set each individual up for success. More specifically, we invest in the success of Sales teammates, like you, with sales training and the annual sales offsite to a destination location. Conversely, your statements about our CEO and financial outlook are wholly untrue. Two of our core values at Backstop are Excellence and Getting Stuff Done, and ultimately our CEO and the leadership team hold themselves and the team accountable to those values. Under that leadership, our outlook is positive and energized. With 5 new product releases, the highest employee engagement scores to date and an unbeatable team in place, we are well-positioned for an amazing 2020. We wish you the best and hope you find the right fit for you in your next career move.

Pros

Loved the team I was on. Processes are lock-tight with stellar internal trainings and resources to prepare you for your role. Help was always available from leadership. Pay and benefits were good too.

Cons

Volume of work was way too high creating burnout. Culture was too political and mainly leaning one way. Executives can be way too harsh toward middle management seeing this on more than one occasion on calls.
