Thank you for taking the time to share this review! We are so glad that you are seeing all the positive changes in the way we operate. We also appreciate the comment about some unsteadiness. Rapid change can indeed cause some fatigue, and we will continue to encourage frequent communication, based on transparency, to address it.

Toxic Environment, Lack of Leadership

Pros

Nice people. Everyone tries to accommodate the tremendous workload that is ALL done manually.

Cons

This role is not a CSM role but a Campaign Manager. All tech is siloed. The process is not scalable, and it does not exist. Everything that needs to happen is all manual. No one in this department understands what a CSM does, and they have no idea what performance metrics mean that drive pipeline activity. The Senior Director of this group is not a leader. She has no clue what a CSM does. If you want to learn how to become a CSM and to be guided by a true leader, this is not the role for you.

Thank you for sharing your concerns! As we announced earlier this year, we have a new, automated, performance review process being introduced next month. As part of our review process, we are taking a deeper dive into evaluating pay across teams. We appreciate the feedback as we start the process. It really does help us make the right kinds of change.
