Pros

- You can expense pretty much anything without management blinking an eye - President club trip locations are nice - If you like hands off training and mentoring, you will love this place

Cons

- Culture is based around toxic friend groups and how well you can sh** talk. - Pay for leadership is extremely low - Work life balance is almost non-existent in any role. They have "unlimited PTO" but if you take a day off, you are behind by 5 days. Can barely hit quota without taking PTO. -CRO and VP's cater to folks who have been there the longest and those who are willing to toss folks on their team under the bus to advance themselves. - ZERO TRAINIG for leadership - You are a babysitter in any leadership (Regional Sales Director) role. You are not helping your team sell, you are mitigating fights between team members, and blocking/playing first line of defense when insane requests come from VPs and CROs. - There is not a PIP program in place for Regional Sales Directors.. Your VP can terminate whenever they feel they've used and abused you enough. - VP's and Regional Sales Directors - most should not be in the role they are in. Most have maybe a year (if that of management experience) and CANNOT make hard decisions. Most decisions (territory & partner assignments) are based off friendships the VP's or Sales Directors have with their PAM's and AE's.

Pros

- Opportunity to make a real-world difference through purpose-driven work. Human Interest is helping expand access to retirement benefits for millions of hardworking Americans. It's rewarding to be part of a mission that creates meaningful outcomes for so many people (even our team! - we use our own product). - Strong culture and genuinely good people. Leadership is approachable, and there is a real willingness to listen to feedback. - Compensation and benefits are competitive and generally aligned with effort and results. Hard work is appreciated. - Decisions are made quickly. While not every decision is perfect, the company is willing to adapt and pivot when data or outcomes suggest a different path. - Teammates are collaborative and supportive. Many employees genuinely care about helping each other succeed.

Cons

- The pace of change can be challenging. Priorities, processes, and organizational structures may shift frequently. - Rapid decision-making sometimes creates uncertainty or change fatigue for the frontline team. - Communication around large-scale changes can occasionally lag behind execution. - High expectations and workload can make work-life balance difficult during peak periods (high-growth company).
