You get a lot of people that will say their company cares about them and we all know in the back of our minds that sounds great but it's probably only partially true at best. Podium is different. I was hesitant to take a job here. I came over from a fairly low paying job and took a pay cut to get here (against my better judgment). It ended up being absolutely the best call I've made professionally. I've since been promoted and moved to a position with more responsibility and I've never once felt undervalued. The people that work here are here because they genuinely believe in the mission and feel like they're contributing something valuable to the industry.
Weekly catered lunches, soda, free food and department activities are just icing at this point.
Cons
Podium is growing at a breakneck speed. We change procedures, software and other would be static features in the company on what feels like a weekly basis. It can be really hard to keep up.

Thanks for your review. IT is working on reducing the unnecessary systems we use at Podium. I would love to hear your feedback as soon as that project is completed. - Abby
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
