Pros
I have worked in the Autos division of OfferUp for about 2 months now. I previously worked at an IT Sales position for 4 years so the switch to OfferUp seemed like an exciting opportunity to be part of something bigger. I was nervous about the career move but now I just wish I had looked into position openings sooner. Pros: -It’s hard to find a business that truly makes women feel welcome and equal. OfferUp makes me feel like one of the people not “the token woman” like other places I have worked. -Everyone here seems...ACTUALLY happy -I feel like I could walk up to anyone in the company and just say hello and that wouldn’t be weird. It’s actually encouraged. -Pay is competitive. People who disagree are expecting something for nothing. -About once a month the ENTIRE company gets together to get a full update on how the company as a whole is doing. At the end, the execs sit on the stage and it’s open mic for questions. They aren’t afraid of criticism or suggestions. Their confidence and open-ness speaks for itself. -Our Managers and Director over here in the Autos division are level headed, encouraging, and will fight for you. I feel strongly that way-and I’ve only worked here for two months. I could ask my director for a meeting and he would make time for me, or for anyone. -If you have a suggestion, you are taken seriously here. -If you find a way to do something better, you are given a green light to explore it -Everyone seems to be super gay friendly too for those who care -We use state of the art equipment. I love that stuff WORKS! And our IT department is FAST to fix any issues we might have. -Lots of snacks and goofy nerf-gun/ping pong/ environment. They provide some breakfast items. I love this place and everyone around me has enabled me to be a better sales-person. I can’t wait to see what we do next.
Cons
-It is true that the inbound calls for the Sales division are being spread out thinner. But management just rolled out a new plan to more evenly spread out those opportunities. -Right not our PTO is capped which could be better but I’d say it’s still competitive -There is no “work from home” policy at this time which is a bummer but oh well -There is not a wide enough selection of hot sauce in the breakroom
