Pros

Location: halfway between Provo and SLC and close to many other companies Industry: "tech" is hot, so gaining experience in the industry will open doors People: most employees are genuinely nice and helpful and team camaraderie is high Perks: snacks, weekly lunches, and lots of Podium-branded gear (aka "swag")

Cons

Product: -the platform is simple and only marginally beneficial for customers -competitors offer either more beneficial, comprehensive services or similar features at a much lower price -the platform has no substantial competitive advantage Structure: -breaking down the functions of each department, the company can easily be characterized as a telemarketing call-center dressed as a trendy startup Management: -despite greater and greater challenges, management stays the course -when something appears out of order, management churns employees, assuming all issues are people-related

Pros

Cool office building, learn from some of the best sales reps you’ll come across in your career

Cons

I worked at podium for a few years. It was the most toxic sales culture I’ve ever experienced. I do not say that lightly It was worth the money a year/two plus ago. They raised quotas multiple times in the last year and decreased the commission percentages. It is wild how many hoops an ae had to jump through to close a deal. In my 7+ of being in sales it was probably the hardest sale to close and I was a top rep. If you want to join podium it could be a good learning experience but it will come with a lot of headaches, anxiety about job security (they pip sales reps out like no other company I’ve ever worked for) and maybe some tears
