Pros

Okay pay, although full commission is very hard to achieve.

Cons

Very high targets, making full commission hard to hit, very small percentage of team actually get close. Making promotions harder and harder to achieve in order to keep people in the SDR role. The management is oppressive, uncaring and based on a culture of fear. Regularly over heard conversations within the team in the office that are either inappropriate, or discriminatory against certain groups of people, e.g LGBTQ+, women etc. Culture is like a school playground - behaviour and themed PG encouraged by management that is degrading, immature and backwards.

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
