Pros

High pay potential $1 Benefits

Cons

This is the most toxic culture you could ever be a part of. Upper management and the CEO have no idea what they’re doing, all they care about is their rapidly decreasing stock price and how they can cut budgets to somehow stop that. It’s an old school sales training process with zero adaptations to current environments. If you can’t get the sales process and every part of it down perfectly, they fire you with no warning. They fired many managers in this same manner, then many more reps. Multiple reps with tenure over 10 years have either left or been fired in the past month because of how dysfunctional this organization is. The CEO decided to redesign the entire sales process on a whim because the stock price is tanking so badly instead of asking his employees on what could be improved/changed. He has no long-term vision, and since he’s the CEO, President, and Board Leader all in one, everyone is scared to speak their minds for fear of being fired. This fearmongering is passed down from him to every single other person within the organization, making it almost impossible for people to do their jobs. Reps who have been there long-term tell you to “block out the noise” when these things are happening because “it’s the only way you can do your job,” but then upper management creates these non-sensical initiatives that take hours away from your daily schedule which then limits your ability to actually get deals. It is the epitome of a churn and burn culture, they don’t care about their people, only the bottom line result.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
