Cons
SORRY FOR THE BOOK BUT WORTH READING As an employee that worked in office for several years before moving fully remote in February of 2020 I can honestly say Constant Contact USED TO BE a great company. The in office culture was amazing, our Chief Sales Director (Lauren) was AMAZING and the employee focus was outstanding. Then February 2020 hit and we all went remote and it became blaringly obvious that the company no longer cared about its employees but the bottom line. In 2 years we have been sold twice, each time upper management made bank or made fast acquisitions to please stockholders. Almost all employees were passed on merit increases or really any pay increase, those receiving merit increases were given a couple cent raise that didn’t even bring them to a break even in the market. Almost all employees with tenure have fled. Sales, support, engineers, upper management has seen a huge turnover. As a sales employee holding a senior sales title and being a consistent top performer every year since starting I have yet to see any real pay increase. Company had record breaking sales in 2020, then in 2021 when sales goals where outrages many top performers continued to thrive but the moment merits are brought up upper management has no answers. A new employee and a top performer have maybe 15k difference on base pay. I was given a merit increase in 2021 of a couple cents even though I was already 60k behind market rate for my position. A couple cent raise after being a top producer in a company that made record breaking sales in 2020 is offensive. Managers/directors are increasingly pressured to retain employees while the CEO is openly shutting down any pay conversations and reverting questions back to managers who have the same concerns. CEO threatened employees in summer of 2021 that company meetings were not a place to discuss any pay and that our chat rooms are not "appropriate" places to openly converse about employee concerns. AKA he wants everyone to stay silent, in the dark and doesn't want to hear / be forced to address pay discrepancies. Bottom line this is a place you start your career, but give yourself a 3 year time stamp max then move on. There are other companies who are willing to pay you your worth as you grow in your position and experience.
