Pros

Work from home Made Good money my first year as an AE Gave me experience which allowed me to get a better job - If you have limited job experience this could be a good stepping stone for you

Cons

I feel compelled to make do this review because one of my former coworkers just texted me that they once again have changed the comp plan. You start as a BDR, pay is horrible and the job sucks so much. That sweet promise of AE is dangled in front of you to keep you going. The company is finding ways to pay us less. They lowered css( the step before AE) pay from 50k base to $15 an hour like the BDRs with no warning this year, Just oop we are decreasing your pay by 40%, with inflation being what it is that is crazy and wrong. They have changed the AE comp plan to make us make less, we have had 3 changes to our comp plan in this year alone all designed to lower our pay in a subtle way they could spin as a positive, aside from the most recent one which just blatantly lowered the pay . I left because once I started making less $$ I realized how much this job sucks. It is like a life insurance assembly line. My new job is so much better the contrast is crazy. I no longer dread starting my day. Unless you have no other choice avoid this job, the payout of AE is no longer worth the long struggle of BDR.

Pros

Has been an great opportunity. Can do big things here. A lot of the complaints are people who dont put in the work to advance. You have to work hard to get to AE. They have sales meetings every month and call out promotions and there are ALWAYS a lot of promotions to sales roles. You literally see promos every month. Good earning opportunities get to work fully remote from home. They invest a lot into you starting up. Yes, you have to make it past BDR role but that’s an important role because it’s when you get licensed and then when you become an agent your get leads sent to you all day. Company is like a small family you can tell leadership is strong together which makes for an enjoyable work environment. Can go on with pros: good benefits, base pay, computer + monitors, incentives, company trips for top earners, training, it goes on.

Cons

They give chances to non- sales backgrounds. Therefore you’re sometimes dealing with the inexperienced people that think it’s a cake walk. They quickly find out it’s not as easy as they hoped. In turn they don’t try to get better and blame everything but themselves, which is why you see a lot of these negative reviews. I had people on my team complain about everything and you could tell it wasn’t going to work out for them right away. It’s sales it’s tough. Gotta put in the work as you would any company. People say you can make more flipping burgers.. ya their goals are also not long term if working for the minimu wage rather than the commission. If I could change one thing I’d suggest they only hire sales ppl so that everyone could be surrounded by like minded individuals but I get it. Some people make the most out of it with out sale background I’m sure
