Pros

remote work, for the most part, peers and colleagues are nice and helpful, benefits are ok

Cons

Culture - everything is backwards. There is too much red tape to get anything done. No transparency because trust is a challenge. The "one team", is questionable. You have to have permission to do anything. No autonomy. If you are a go get getter and have the drive to move the needle this is not the place for you. It's just status quo and very defeating when you put in the work and you can't get anything done. "What's the point?" Best practices - does not exist here. And also...there is no growth path. The way you move up the ladder here is very difficult and unusual. Work life balance - for me, it's been a challenge. There is not much diversity at the executive level.

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
