Pros
Pros are some of the managers. Some of them are encouraging, though definitely encouraging if you’re booking demos, and not as much on days you are not. The people who work at Levitate are great. I can’t deny that everyone gets along really well and it has a super inclusive environment. Your coworkers will be your best friends. Free lunch everyday is amazing, and health benefits are also great. Lots of free alcohol, if you’re a big drinker. Great experience- I mean you will never be afraid to talk to someone on the phone again after this job.
Cons
I worked here four months. Levitate will be your life. Unlimited PTO means only five days off a year that relieve you of your quota. You miss more than two days and you’re screwed. You have to make 130 calls a day- an absolutely insane amount. This means people rush through calls instead of actually taking the time to research leads (and would probably book more that way!). If you have a meeting scheduled in your day, you are guaranteed to have to stay later at night. Hours are 8:30-5:00 everyday. The metrics are pretty crazy, but then again, it is a startup. The worst part is the pay. Base is 40k for SDR’s- though when applying for the job you are told base is 45k (this has happened to multiple people). If your account executive doesn’t sell your demo, you make no money. You can book 50 or 60 demos, and only about 5 -7 will sell- and you’ll make no money from the ones that don’t. Account executives will prioritize their own bookings over yours, and they won’t follow up with your demos which screws you over. People walk out every single week. People who have been there 3 months are training new people- because most don’t last past that time.
