Pros

Some teams seem to enjoy working here.

Cons

The role is comprised of over 40 reps that are all over qualified for what is considered an "entry level" role, yet there is no sustained success. The team has been selling the same services to the same customers since the role was created, and the management team can’t seem to figure out why less opportunities are being created and ultimately why sales are down. Do yourself a favor and avoid the unnecessary stress and ridiculous expectations that come with this role.

Pros

Decent pay, remote work flexibility, you get to work with some very talented folks.

Cons

Used to be proud to work for Blackbaud but that has all but disappeared in last 2 years. Poor and ineffective leadership, false transparency, frequent layoffs, bonuses based off of stock which has been tanking. It's a sinking ship. Avoid at all costs.
