Pros

Currently been working in the New York City office for a little over three and half years. With any tech start up there are of course ups and downs in the sales department. I'm proud to say Booker Sales department shows a successful story where there are mostly ups and very few downs. To start, each rep has a ramping period gear to help each rep build a pipeline to reach and exceed their goals. During this ramping period, each rep has constant support and guidance from the management/leadership team. The support and guidance includes daily team meetings with the sales director and weekly one on one meetings with the sales director. The sales director is truly one of the best that is out there in any Saas company . Started out as an associate making 100s of calls a day to becoming one of the leaders making a company go public. He is a great mentor for the fact that he knows exactly what each rep is going through with having a goal over their heads and being judge on performance since he was walking in your shoes not that long ago in his career. It being a sales job you have a quota that you have to reach each month. At Booker though that quota is something that with hard work and a positive attitude can be achieved month in and month out. All in all if you are someone considering looking into Booker for a sales career you are looking into the right place. Great guidance/mentor, fun environment, and most importantly an opportunity to make good money while having fun at the same time.

Cons

If your late on Wednesdays you miss out on free bacon!

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.
