Pros

Great people and great experience.

Cons

Classic churn and burn. If you want a 2-5 month boot camp for sales I recommend Levitate because that’s how long most people last. If you’re looking for a career, I would steer clear. HR is a facade to help hear problems but do nothing to fix them. Upper leadership make decisions based on the shareholders and only the shareholders, never once considering the employees. Good work is often rewarded with more work. Specifically I can recall a time we “broke the company record for a month” and the next sentence after was “were now going to be increasing dials and goals”. If you currently work here, I recommend looking for another place to work because it’s only a matter of time.

Pros

I only wrote this review to try and save other people. See below.

Cons

They arent building a sales team, they're staffing a call center. They prey on younger people without workplace experience, those are the only people they can trick into working there. Pay is also extremely low. They have absolutely no idea what they're doing. Any questions you ask will be answered with, "because i said so" without any explanation. Management has clearly never had to manage anyone before and they don't know how to do it effectively. Whole culture is based on fear, they threaten to fire you literally every day. And they do not give a **** about you as a person please don't let them lie to you and fake like they do, YOU ARE A NUMBER and they will eventually kick you out and shove the next person into your spot to bother people about their crappy products. DO NOT WORK HERE, PLEASE.

Pros

- This job is supposed to be tough. They’re weeding out who can actually handle sales! - All my SDR managers have been very nice and willing and wanting to help but also being hands off - Good mix of fresh out of college and people in a career change - 130 dials a day seems like a lot but the dialing software is awesome, fast and efficient so 130 is definitely attainable - The product is actually something I believe in and thinks it’s really useful - Love the culture here on the sales floor. Dress casual and has that start up feel - Free lunch everyday!

Cons

- All the positive reviews were from 2021 or 2022 or the post COVID golden era, aka the economy was thriving and people were spending money - Fast forward to today and some verticals are getting hit HARD cause of inflation and the overall economy - Favortism is unfortunately real here. Not hard to find someone who knows someone in a mid/upper management role - I know they are a startup but they are very disorganized in a lot of areas. A definite lack of consistency throughout their process across managers/verticals - Upper management is basically non existent and definitely feel like your just a number - The company quota changes every month but yours as an individual stays the same. Make that make sense. They’ll say the company goal is 15% less this month but all your dials, demos, and sales quotas stay the same. - I’m worried that quotas won’t change even when verticals get completely exhausted or as the economy continues towards a recession. Numbers are only gonna get harder to hit - They also cap commission. It’s definitely hard to hit and they initially said it’s only been done a very few times but since then I have seen multiple people hit the cap

Hey there! Since you're a current employee, I'd love for you to reach out to me (Jes) so we can talk further about any concerns you have. You mentioned the tougher economy. As you've probably heard in our company meetings, the past 12 months have been better than ever for us as a business. The SDR team as a whole is at 115% of quota this year and there is no vertical below 95%. Again, my door is open and I'd love to chat and hear more about the Cons you mentioned.
