Pros

Great office, stocked kitchen with snacks, drinks etc. Younger up start feel. Good base salary. Decent but confusing time off policies. Owner is nice guy

Cons

Churn and Burn baby! In 2014 the company probably hired 20 reps and fired 16 of them. Yes they fired 80% of the people they hired in sales. At what point do you think they reps aren't tthe problem? Was promised 1000s of leads when hired, but those "leads" were just random companies and #s in salesforce. Bad numbers, companies that no longer exsist etc. In other words a phone book would be a better lead.

Thank you for your review. We are experiencing explosive market and revenue growth. With that excitement comes high expectations of our sales reps; we expect the absolute best and would not be where we are without our top performers. We clearly communicate expectations and goals from the beginning of the hiring process. As with many sales organizations, we sometimes have to make difficult decisions to move forward with candidates who may be a better fit for our organization overall. We wish you the best!

Pros

Great company atmosphere, competitive environment, money to be made there, best in-class technology, strong C-level leadership, opportunity for growth, awesome company retreats, young crowd.

Cons

The feeling of coming into work everyday not feeling secure isn't a good one. Constant turnover, high-pressure selling, would rather get in a deal before the end of the month and lose it then wait a week after to win it. Quotas are ridiculous and realistically unattainable when dealing with PR professionals on a daily basis. Not much on-going training, battling constantly over accounts, rarely any in-bound leads, competitors have similar technology for a substantially lower price.
