Pros

Working at Grow is one of the best decisions I've made. Great, great company culture and opportunity. Like anything, it took a little time to get into the groove and sell like I wanted to, but after 6 months I was hitting big numbers and loving life. Everyone is supportive, friendly, and encouraging. There is positive focus on improving an already great sales team and providing as much training as possible. Its definitely a startup world and that comes with the relaxed work environment you'd expect. While we still don't have work from home days the management is flexible with working hours and days off if you're getting your work done. Selling the product is much easier than other products I've sold. The value of the product is very clear, translating into a shorter sales process. We have a client success team that then manages the relationship with the client so you can focus on new sales. Its very realistic to hit your numbers consistently and make great commissions.

Cons

Its a startup, there are constant changes. Some of these are great, some of them are experiments that fail. Some of those experiments don't seem to make much sense, but changes happen frequently so you never have to deal with it for too long. Base pay isn't fantastic but the potential for big commissions more than makes up for that.

Pros

They have some great people working for the company. It was good to learn from them and build my network. The industry is a cool and exciting one to be in. Learning BI and data has been a valuable skill for me to grow my career.

Cons

I don't see Grow succeeding and they have been going down for a few years now. They make quick and drastic pivots to the product, marketing, and overall business model without giving time to see if the changes will actually work. That was extremely frustrating to deal with when I worked for them. They don't put enough money into the product to make it stable or add key features to make it competitive in the market. The product is a buggy mess and so frustrating to use. One of the reasons I left was because I was tired of using Grow and dealing with all the bugs it has constantly. It's also missing key features that even basic BI tools have. It's overpriced and difficult to sell and even more difficult to keep customers. I had a lot of hope for Grow but I'm just not seeing it succeeding anymore. They focus too much on the financials instead of making strategic business decisions. That is due to an Accountant being the right hand of the CEO. Unfortunately, I see more layoffs coming soon. Hopefully, the CEO isn't on vacation in Mexico this time like he was when they laid off most of the sales team.
