Pros

Christmas party was another drunken debacle by leaders and it was, as always, pretty embarrassing. Drinking when winning = fun. Getting drunk when having a horrible year = dumb.

Cons

Product keeps promising progress, but have not seen anything since I joined. But they say happy things. Sales leaders smile a lot and think it is fun to just say happy things, but it is no fun when you can not hit your quota. No salesforce support to speak of.

Pros

I really enjoyed working for Booker they have awesome people, Culture! What I enjoyed best about the role at Booker is that I really enjoy mentoring entrepreneurs and helping them create a successful strategy to manage their business that way they can focus on what they do best. This company is transparent and cares so much for their Customers and is committed to your success.

Cons

no on-site Gym, the pay is fair but I think is underpaid based on other employers in the tech industry.

Pros

- Great benefits - My overall comp has increased year over year - Time off is awesome, and you're not frowned upon when you take it - Career growth is something that actually happens - Fast-paced environment - Ping Pong and Kegs are always a plus - Great culture - Talented professionals - Collaborative environment across different segments - Brand recognition - Flexibility and autonomy given to consult with your clients - Networking opportunities here are endless NYC Management View: MBWA) / Democratic Management Approach. Here is why…. Mike H is an invaluable asset to our team. He has a Democratic / Management by Walking Around (MBWA) approach. He aims to involve all member’s of the team in the decision making process. He is very familiar with the SMB sales process and sales cycle which in the end helps me to land more deals. I have witnessed first-hand many sales reps at Booker develop and hone their skills within a short period of time under Mikes direction. Mike engages with the team and encourages a competitive and healthy rivalry while helping us to embrace corporate and team culture. This helps to drive real metrics and results. This level of management is characteristic I have grown to truly appreciate Mike for. He also engages with other departments, embraces change and lends advice to those in need.

Cons

- Here at Booker it's easy to become attached to your work, leads & accounts, and it often trickles over into your personal life after hours, or on weekends. - Quota isn't necessarily the easiest to hit. But I guess if it were easy I suppose they would let anyone in.
