Pros

*Upper management has a wonderful vision *The software is one of the best in the industry *Work/life balance for the sales team *Marketing team provides excellent tools for sales *Building reputation in a unique way makes me very proud of the organization.

Cons

*Middle management is promoted from sales and lacking in qualifications *Sales approach changed 3 times in one year, feels like they make it up as they go along. *Service issues trickle to sales and there is NO help in sight. *Implementation is "Overworked" and no one discusses it, its the worst kept secret. *The territory sizes are shrinking as they are growing so aggressively. *Recruiters say 3-6 month ramp up, depending on hire date expect 9-12 month living on base only. *Micromanagement, it is not all throughout, it depends on the manager. It exists. *Surveys were sent out for feedback on management, no changes for the positive ever made.

Pros

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Teammate relationships during difficult days.

Cons

Paying out executive bonuses and Sr leaders while mid-level and lower employees had their bonus removed and their stock options taken away. This company is the epitome of making the rich richer while allowing the employees who are busting their bottoms to drown without monetary compensation. It was heartbreaking for me to see my team unable to receive any bonus monies while our executives received millions even though the decision they made resulted in the stock price dropping by over $100.
