Pros

Great vision, leadership and product. Overall corporate culture and benefits.

Cons

Inside Sales management... Corp politics at its worst, micromanagement, too much bureaucracy, constantly changing direction on the Sales Team, lack of focus. Not only were the Inside Sales Team micromanaged on a daily basis, we also had to fill out a daily excel spreadsheet on what we were doing every hour. if that wasn't turned in at the end of every work day, we were told that we should start looking for a new job. Constant finger pointing and always under pressure to justify your job and worth. Very toxic environment.

The company has seen incredible growth over the last few years, with Inside Sales feeling some of those growing pains. This includes some administrative overhead that has added to their work. Sales leadership has started to address this with a limited-time study of workloads across teams that saw great participation when we asked for feedback. The findings from that feedback resulted in creating some new, more specialized roles, shifting some work to other teams, and optimizing some of our systems to automate time-consuming tasks. We know there are times where the processes and structures lag behind the growth and employees feel the pinch. Know we are trying hard to improve the work environment for everyone in Sales, as well as personal opportunities in a group that is very much quota-driven.
