Pros

I think Madwire does a great job at pushing people to be better and creating an environment where people want to be the best they can. The projects we work on are very ambitious and provide ample opportunities to fail and succeed - both necessary for growth. I like how there is always something new to do or to improve, and that management and other employees are open to new ideas. Overall, I think it's a great culture with a lot of talented and nice people.

Cons

The restrooms can be crowded sometimes

Pros

Cutting-Edge Tech: The company is genuinely dedicated to staying on the frontier of technology, ensuring you are always working with the best tools and forward-thinking tech. Amazing Work Culture: The environment is incredibly supportive and collaborative—it's a place where you actually enjoy showing up every day. Uncapped Commission: The earning potential is exactly what salespeople look for. Hard work is directly rewarded with an uncapped commission structure. Fulfilling Work: The projects and day-to-day tasks helping small businesses grow feel meaningful, making it easy to stay motivated and proud of what you do.

Cons

Commission Ramp-Up Time: It takes a little bit of time for commissions to start building up initially, so you need to be prepared for a ramp-up period when you first start. Account Distribution Pace: Although Management tries its best to accommodate your needs, you can't control the pace at which you receive new accounts, which means your pipeline can sometimes feel out of your hands.

Pros

1. If you want to escape retail or foodservice, Madwire provides you an opportunity to work a traditional Monday-Friday 7-4 work schedule. They'll hire anyone who will gladly exchange retail hours for low compensation expectations. 2. It's a fun workplace until ... it isn't. 3. Congratulations on adopting AI into the organization as it helps cover / disguise the lack of marketing talent in the organization.

Cons

1. If a "quiet, non-spoken" RIF doesn't get you, a termination will. My guess is a MINIMUM of 85% of all former Madwire employees were terminated "with cause." 2. Madwire SaaS is a hodge-podge of other products and services packaged under the Marketing360 brand, nothing unique or earth shattering. 3. JB does a great job of marketing Madwire, unfortunately, this doesn't translate downstream. Marketing Executive turnover is non-stop revolving door so more than half our clients are being led by new hires in some stage of onboarding and/or training. 4. There was a recent increase in base from $35k to $60k. Much needed, however, an equal reduction in earned commissions mean there was no real effective pay increase. Shuffled comp is all it is. 5. MCs and MEs spend 10-20% of their time recovering unpaid invoices. In large part to unmet expectations, lack of results, broken promises. 6. Tough to sell a product you don't believe in, have experienced consistent failure client after client. 7. Client retention is horrific. 8.
