Pros

None. Any positives that once existed have been stripped away by constant leadership churn, layoffs, and short-sighted decision-making.

Cons

This company has been in a steady decline, and leadership seems either unwilling or completely incapable of understanding why. The revolving door of the C-suite tells you everything you need to know: no long-term vision, no accountability, and no understanding of how the business actually functions. The response to poor leadership decisions has been indiscriminate layoffs rather than strategy. Entire teams with real institutional knowledge have been eliminated, leaving behind chaos, broken processes, and remaining employees scrambling to cover work they were never trained to do. Tenured employees who actually understood the products, systems, and customers were treated as disposable, while leadership continues to make decisions detached from reality. Compensation is uncompetitive, morale is non-existent, and job security is a joke. Policies are selectively enforced, often used as technicalities to avoid severance or responsibility. When severance is offered, it’s minimal, and benefits disappear immediately - clear proof that loyalty only flows one way here. The culture is toxic and fear-driven. Managers are fired or disappear without explanation, leaving remaining employees scrambling to figure out priorities, processes, and responsibilities with no guidance or support. . Ethical concerns are brushed aside, transparency is performative at best, and employee well-being is clearly not a priority. As for the inevitable corporate response thanking me for “sharing my perspective” and claiming feedback is “taken seriously”: save it. Employees have been saying the same things for years, and nothing has changed except the company getting worse. I absolutely do not care about carefully worded PR statements that deny reality while pretending improvement is happening. If you value stability, fair pay, ethical leadership, or basic respect for employees, look elsewhere.

Pros

Supportive leadership, collaborative culture, strong training and coaching, growth opportunity, team members willing to help, positive transition experience into a new industry, performance-driven environment, opportunity to learn and grow professionally.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with a lot of information to absorb early on, particularly if you’re transitioning from a different industry. Expect a learning curve, but there are resources and people willing to help you succeed.

Pros

I was genuinely excited to join such a well-established and recognizable company, and I still see tremendous potential here. That said, after several months in the role, it’s clear there are opportunities for the organization to better align its strategy to fully empower its sales team. The company operates in a fast-evolving environment, with frequent updates to processes, expectations, and compensation structures. While adaptability is important, a more consistent and clearly defined approach would help sales professionals stay focused and perform at their highest level. Greater trust in the team, along with reduced micromanagement, could also go a long way in driving stronger results and morale. There’s also a significant opportunity to strengthen marketing efforts. Increased brand promotion and lead generation support would not only elevate visibility but also create a more balanced and effective sales pipeline. Currently, much of the prospecting responsibility falls on the sales team, and additional infrastructure—such as a well-supported SDR function—could make a meaningful impact. I joined with the understanding that there would be strong lead-generation support in place, and enhancing that area would help the company better leverage its long-standing reputation. With over a century in the industry, there’s a real opportunity to attract inbound interest more consistently. I remain optimistic and plan to give it more time, as I believe in my ability to perform and in the potential of the organization. However, maintaining achievable and consistent KPIs, rather than frequently shifting targets, would help retain top performers and foster long-term success. Ultimately, success here comes down to enabling salespeople to do what they do best—sell. By investing in marketing, stabilizing expectations, and empowering the team, the company could unlock a much higher level of performance across the board.
