Pros

- Good first job - They like to just throw you in, which can be a very good way to build experience fast - If you can back it up, you can make a difference in how your team operates - Room to get promoted fast - Amazing and smart employees - Work life balance is possible on the right team - Great if you have a supportive manager - but not always the case

Cons

- Low pay: negotiate when you first start - Fast promotions, but low raises - Laptops are older than you, this is a major problem. Buy laptops made in this decade not in 1990s! - No 401k match - Engineers need to be valued more - Tech is EXTREMELY out of date - There are HUGE slackers that the hard working employees have to make up for, but yet all are paid and valued the same. - Some teams desperately need more headcount to manage the workload, but cries for help are ignored

It has been difficult making extra bonuses due to some of the verticals being newer.

Pros

The company can offer strong earning potential and a large enough operation to create real opportunities for sales reps who are in the right segment with the right support at the right time. There are talented people across the organization and certain teams can be collaborative and knowledgeable. The business also has legitimate demand in the home services space, and there is value in the products when the fit is right. For someone who performs well in a fast paced, metric driven environment, there is room to make good money and gain solid experience.

Cons

The culture can feel highly numbers driven in a way that sometimes prioritizes activity volume over strategic selling and long term fit. Management quality varies significantly, and communication around expectations, compensation, and deal flexibility can be inconsistent. In some cases, sales reps may feel pressured to push opportunities that are not ideal fits, which can create frustration and hurt long term client success. There also seems to be limited alignment between leadership, sales, and support teams at times, which can make it harder to execute effectively and build confidence in the process.
