Pros

I guess the biggest pro is that so many talented people have left that you automatically have an amazing sales network to find a new job, if you haven’t done so already. Do yourself a favor and run from this place. Another pro...you can literally show up and leave when you want if you are in sales. Management is just happy to see you are still on the team so they don’t have to work another open book.

Cons

Executive leadership is an absolute joke. Company sales calls were scheduled almost everyday at one point, and almost everyday the president of sales would cancel them...5 minutes before. I can even remember a few times where the company dialed in, and then 10 minutes later we received an email canceling the call. Great way to motivate sales people and ensure you have a productive team. Although I guess I would cancel the calls too if I didn’t have any big sales to share. The product is terrible and clients are literally begged to renew flat or down sell. The culture is horrible. Sales reps sit in circles (if they come in) and talk about how terrible management/product/job is. It doesn’t help that the quotas skyrocketed and compensation was slashed.

Pros

Culture was amazing before it was acquired by private equity.

Cons

The culture was great (before private equity), which made career advancement a game of social politics.
