Pros

Everyone that works for this company is highly motivated, driven, and passionate about what they are doing and contributing to this business. It doesn't matter what position you have, or what you do here, everyone comes in with a go-getter attitude, and brings their A-Game to any task - todo - problem - situation, and knocks it out of the park. The positive energy and overall family / friend atmosphere at this company is something that helps drive everyone to helping one another to achieving everything and anything possible. On top of that, this company clearly cares about its employees, constant barbecues on the rooftop patio that overlooks Lake Loveland, a full gym in the basement to accommodate your fitness lifestyle, donuts on Fridays, company parties twice a year, company sport teams and fitness groups, and much more, making this a place that people love to work at, and a place to build long term friendships.

Cons

If you can't keep up with a fast pace work environment, that is constantly changing to accommodate new work styles and work loads, this job might not be the best fit for you. This definitely is not a settle-in-and-get-cozy kind of job, you have to keep on your toes and constantly push yourself to do better everyday when you come in and keep going until you leave.

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.
