Pros

Remote work with a decent salary.

Cons

Leadership disconnect: Senior leaders are out of touch with what it takes to win new business. There’s constant talk about “strategic growth,” but little to no investment in tools, data, or enablement to help sellers actually execute. Poor sales strategy: Territories are unclear, account ownership is constantly shuffled, and internal competition among teams makes collaboration impossible. Empty pipeline expectations: Quotas are set unrealistically high with no alignment to market conditions or marketing support. You're expected to “make it happen” with zero resources. Culture of micromanagement: Rather than empowering experienced sales professionals, leadership focuses on activity tracking, meaningless KPIs, and policing CRM entries instead of celebrating real wins. Lack of integrity in delivery: Overpromising and underdelivering has become the norm. As a salesperson, it’s uncomfortable when your clients’ experience doesn’t match what you were told to sell.

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
