Pros

Very accommodating with personal time, work life balance, and work events. Big emphasis on the maintenance of company culture and morale (sorta). Unlimited PTO is real and great. They do tuition reimbursement which is very nice. Snacks in the breakroom are bumpin'

Cons

The training was lackluster and the difference between the training phase and actually working on the floor was pretty stark. Commission is lackluster and not industry standard No emphasis on further development of the individual employee for the role they are in. Below industry standard pay that was consistently swept under the rug when brought up to both CEOs (you read that right, more on that later) in AMA question sessions. Change to return to office policies that didn't need to be made for any other reason than the equity of the building. Long story short; the original big boss took out a "loan" of sorts that isn't being repaid in a timely enough fashion, ultimately leading to his ousting from his own company to bring in a boss more seasoned to eliminate said deficit at the expense of morale, company vision, and any independent financial gain for those in his employ. Made to feel like a robot with a broken go to market strategy that stretches the borders of credulity to the point of snapping. Mass exodus's ensue with no recourse. Slash and burn, belt tightening, eerily pump-and-dump-feeling tactics that just don't foster cheery sentiments to those driving there everyday.

Run away

Pros

There are seriously none left. Everyone’s leaving.

Cons

Was once a nice place to work. Now the ship is sinking. Leadership seems to have no idea what they’re doing, but love berate sales reps on the daily. Unreal level of micro management that’s not moving the needle at all. Extremely toxic culture that’s getting worse everyday. The product is no longer competitive and still the most expensive option out there. Abnormal is mopping the floor with us and newer competitors are outpacing us too. The base pay here for a mid market rep is around $60k and you’ll never get a raise. The comp plan is designed for you to fail, good luck selling anything at all let alone reaching target. And good luck figuring out how much your commission is if you’re one of the lucky reps who gets a closed/won here. TLDR: It’s bad, guys. Run away.

Pros

A lot of leave per year.

Cons

I am in non-sales role, the salary is way below the market rate. Th only thing that keeps me here because the culture is good. Still we needs to pay our bills.
