Pros

+ If you have no other options, then it’s better than nothing + You’ll occasionally get treats (MemoryBlue gives better ones and treat their employees better) + Ok, if you really want to work in your high school

Cons

- If you’re young and attractive and will kiss up to upper management, you will get a promotion or if you’re a guy who gushes on these girls once they’re promoted - They hire young for a reason and it’s not to give people a chance out of college, it’s because it’s cheap - You’ll get treated like a child by children - Upper management has little to no awareness of what goes on below them - Many SDRs want to quit, but can’t because the contract says they’ll have to pay back training (which training is another con itself) - You’re under contract for 18 months. That is the main reason why SDRs can’t quit - Everyone knows everything about everyone - Very cliquey - Wrong people get promoted - Once they get promoted, they aren't able to coach or manage their peers (just babysit and talk down to)

Pros

Great sales leadership, great sales team, lots of really good sales tools. The Sales teams and AM teams are really outstanding, as is the sales centric culture here. Sales leadership is proactive, sharp, and seems to adapt well.

Cons

Pay and benefits are... poor. In sales they can get away with it b/c the culture is so good but for other things, the company is really just cheap. they lose a lot of talent b/c they leave for average salaries - Cvent is below average. Sales training and enablement is a mess. It's a very reactive team, focused on checking the boxes. They talk a lot about moving fast, iterating... but things are very slow, get bottled up with leadership a lot. Leaders in this group are mixed. When they are focused and listening they can be good, they tend to fight for their people well. But they don't listen a lot, mostly they just push for the answer they wanted from the beginning, and b/c they are trying to go fast, they rarely slow down and look at the big picture. Then when there are bumps in the road or complaints later, they are suprised.
