Pros

Team members are great, catered lunch once a week or every other week, snacks, free swag, and decent pay.

Cons

The entire Executive team is legit crazy. I’ve never worked for a more micromanaged company in my life. People got in trouble for not working at 4:45 on Friday (later mandated that you had to be at your desk at 8:00 until 5:00 pm, no exceptions). They have a decide now, think later approach to almost any problem. No job security. They had two lay offs within seven months of each other. Wouldn’t be surprised if another came by end-of-year.

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
