Pros

- Product is great and could be easy to sell, if they had us set up for success. - Coworkers are friendly, helpful and easy to work with, although miserable.

Cons

- Below-market pay is very low, especially considering the scope of work - Upper management changes on a regular basis - Lower management is under pressure, which they trickle to down to their employees - Garbage tech stack that is pieced together seemingly with duct tape and prayers: This is constantly addressed and met with gaslighting that the tech is fine, but the staff is failing. We have been through 3 different dialing platforms in 6 months. - "We only promote from within" but what they don't say is they hire people from outside the company for promoted roles. - Promotion track is set in stone and they will not budge no matter what, UNLESS YOU ARE AN OUTSIDE HIRE, then it's a free-for-all for management and accelerated sales roles (hiring AE-4 and AE-5 from outside with zero company experience that they claim is necessary for the role). - They have two management techniques when you try to discuss issues that are actively preventing you from making sales: "I would challenge your mentality about that, and think about it another way" OR "Take it or leave it, there is a long line of people willing to do this job."
