Pros

Was a 15 year employee and met some of the best people in the industry. Afforded growth opportunities.

Cons

Constant turnover in executive leadership does not allow for consistent and successful results. This company keeps changing before any of the previous changes can truly be implemented and tracked. Company has lost sight of customer first and is more concerned about internal metrics than actually delivering for customers. Very process heavy for sales and operations which impacts ability to drive success in any role. Compensation in Sales is by far the most complicated and worst in the industry. The plans don't come out until after Q1 and the ability to track understand and manager comp is brutal.

Pros

There were mid and low level co workers that did their best.

Cons

Managers preached hot air about work life balance while expecting 60 hours from salaried employees. After I was there for a year I politely asked for a week of UNPAID time off to offset all the extra hours demanded of me. I was lectured about the reality that corporations are in business to make money as if my ask was not cognizant if such reality!! What a pier of feces!! The elitist CEO, lectures employees about zero carbon nonsense while he flues to Davos annually in a private carbon emitting jet to rub elbows with the worst pieces of human garbage among us at the World Economic Forum. These people should be dead to you!
