Pros
The Good: First let me start off by saying that it's been a fun ride here at G/O Digital. I've been a part of some awesome projects, sales councils, management training etc. I feel that I am a better person for working here at G/O Digital. I feel like I got my MBA in start ups with all the initiatives, deadlines, strategy sessions etc. Since the new CEO has taken over, they have made great strides to flatten out the organization and have seen some great strides made internally between sales and operations. Their base pay is usually 1.5x what the competition is willing to pay.
Cons
The Bad: The sales process is really over engineered. G/O struggles to push account live in a timely fashion (especially when compared to our direct competition). Just spoke about new CEO leadership, only problem is that it took them a really long time to make those changes. How patient do they expect us to be? Not a performance based organization. Since they have so much wrapped up in your base pay, you really have to knock it out of the park to get paid commission. To complicate matters even more, their comp plan is based on 'go live' and since it takes an exorbitant amount of time to get products live (like I said earlier), you really have to stack your deck and line everything up properly to get paid out on the higher tier percentages.
