Dysfunctional
Pros
Some coworkers are helpful and nice.
Cons
This company is deeply dysfunctional, and the problems start at the management level. I’ve personally seen managers fired for having relationships with employees they managed and with account executives — situations that should never have been allowed to happen in the first place, let alone repeat. Favoritism runs through everything: certain reps get sent to more events and get more support from account executives simply because they’re in a manager’s good graces, while everyone else is left to fend for themselves. Rather than leading with support, management relies on fear — on the rare occasion the team falls short of quota, the response isn’t to figure out what went wrong, it’s to make the entire team feel like they’re not good enough. It’s no surprise turnover here is so high; reps either burn out from the pressure or watch the nepotism play out around them and decide it’s not worth staying for. What’s most telling is what happened to the employee who reported the nepotism to HR: after HR took action on the issues raised, that employee was fired just two days later. Overall, this is a workplace where politics and fear drive more decisions than merit or leadership ever do, and speaking up can cost you your job.
