I'd heard nothing but awful things about ZoomInfo from former coworkers but I took this job out of sheer necessity. I regret every minute of it. Everything I'd heard about the inept management, racist/homophobic culture, and toxic frat house vibe of the business was horribly true. On my first week I witnessed a manager tell my coworker that "lunch is for losers" (not sarcastically) when she requested to take a lunch break. The "lunch/breaks are for losers" phrase was commonly said over Slack by many other managers, so... the idea of work-life balance is non-existent. Sales employees are REQUIRED to work over national holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas (for no additional pay) simply because management says so. On the subject of management, there are a handful of people in leadership positions who openly mock, shame, belittle, and bully employees for their own pleasure. This behavior is not only accepted by other managers, it is encouraged and celebrated as being "tough love". Company rules are constantly changing but never properly articulated to the employees, which creates a constant state of chaos and disarray. Worst of all, there is NO JOB SECURITY. ZoomInfo churns on a vicious cycle of working Sales employees to the bone, getting them to the point of promotion, and then firing them so they can do the same thing to a new sales staff every 6 months. Employees are disposable and it's despicable. Do not believe any positive review you read on here - they are all phony, orchestrated by the HR department to drown out the noise of truthful reviews like these. While I was working there I was asked to submit a 5 star review on here to "help build company clout" and I refused because I could not in good conscious say something positive about this business. This is a horrible soul sucking job run by terrible people - do not work here unless your only other option is to beg for money on the street. That actually might be less demeaning than being an employee at ZoomInfo.
