Pros

There were some awesome people that worked here, but most are gone now.

Cons

Where do I start, let's see, the department is now run by dumb and dumber. There is complete lack of leadership since the original director left. The latest director was fired for what I can only imagine is a long list of things. It's hard to say what the real goal of this department is. You have one manager that is completely spineless and another that thinks having her team play children's games is good motivation. There is a lot of people from this department recently that have been supposedly "promoted" to inside sales for at most a 10% pay increase, because that is all that's allowed, but this position is really nothing more than an entry level customer service position. This place is truly a dead end and does nothing for your resume.

Pros

Strategic partnerships across internal departments; access to leverage multiple partners, SME, tools, resources to win opportunities; education/training opportunities are expansive and accessible. Great work culture!

Cons

So big, we get in our own way; escalating to problem-solve is extremely laborious and tedious to get standardized unified KPIs for consistency/expectations. Terrible onboarding for new hires; lowers morale from the beginning-on your own to figure it out if you do not have an organized, attention-to-detail manager-too long to help have experienced talent be turn-key since the applications/CRMs are extremely outdated; finding who you need to get an answer is cumbersome; if you do not know people, you will take that much longer to find the right internal partner to assist with basic tasks.
