Pros

I did not meet anyone here who I had difficulty working with and I really liked most of my colleagues here. They train you very in-depth on transactional selling and push you very hard to improve. You will get really good at cold calling here if that's something you're looking for. Good opportunity to make money if you get promoted.

Cons

Basically you get paid very little to call down a list of numbers. At present time (Q3, 2022) their email deliverability is so bad it's hard to cold email. The associates also are actively discouraged from prospecting on LinkedIn and running outreach campaigns. That being said, if you are good at cold calling don't be put off by this because you will do well here. Also, territory splits seem to be done very unevenly from the SDR/ Associate point of view where multiple people where calling down my territory lists.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
