Pros
I have been with Unitrends for a while now. I was here during the explosive growth in 2013 and 2014; I was also here in 2015 during the over expansion and eventual right sizing of the organization; and I’m here now watching the growth return. Unitrends offers a disaster recovery and business continuity platform that is well positioned in the competitive, but quickly growing market of cloud backup and DR. Employees who strive to exceed expectations, recognize change is part of a growing organization, and actively improve their understanding of the product/market will be truly successful. I can’t speak for the rest of the organization, but the vast majority of the sales floor is making more money than they ever have before. Plans are attainable, above industry average, and include aggressive accelerators once you have hit your quota. I think the large numbers of new home owners, newlyweds, and new parents says a lot about how current employees feel about Unitrends. It’s a great indicator that we feel secure in our jobs and strong financially. Life hasn’t been prefect at Unitrends, but I can say that it has significantly changed my life for the better. I know I’m not the only one and I know that I won’t be the last.
Cons
Sales is a lifestyle. You need to be able to handle the down months and the stressful calls. You also need to understand that Unitrends is in a growth stage which means change: changing territories, changing managers, changing leadership, changing product… If you want to come in every day, do the same thing, and the head home at 5:00 this isn’t the environment for you.
