Pros

The other reps are nice people.

Cons

All levels of management lie to everyone including their customers. Products don't work.They don't value loyalty and change direction too often. I don't expect the LocalEdge division of Hearst to be around more than 2 years.

Pros

Sales team is super bonded over terrible senior management.

Cons

Executive leadership team is not equipped to manage high performing sales people. They mange first year sales reps the same as they manage 20+ years of experience sales reps. 5 members of the sales team have voluntarily walked off the team in the last 2 months and no changes have been made to leadership. Leadership said they were changing our comp plan mid year, but wouldn’t telling us what it was changing to (essentially asking us to sell like normal without telling us what we’d be paid).
