Pros

Coworkers in the trenches are supportive because everyone is trying to survive the same chaos. Sales experience here will teach you resilience, mostly because you’ll need it daily.

Cons

If you’re looking for stability, mentorship, transparency, or basic human decency, this is not the place. Firings happen weekly. No PIPs. No structured performance plans. No honest conversations. You can be told you’re “doing fine” by your manager one day and be terminated the next. Feedback does not align with outcomes. The environment runs on unpredictability and fear. Publicly discussing employees’ failures as if it’s some kind of team-building exercise is normalized. Instead of constructive coaching, mistakes are highlighted like cautionary tales. Leadership is deeply concerning. The sales director’s behavior comes across as openly racist and misogynistic. Comments and treatment toward certain groups create an uncomfortable and, at times, hostile atmosphere. Training consists of a few videos and then you’re expected to magically perform at a high level. Managers lack the skill or willingness to coach, brainstorm, or develop their reps. You are told they are “so supportive,” but when you ask for real guidance, you’re on your own. The commission structure is another illusion. You don’t meaningfully earn commission for 8 months, but the turnover is so extreme that most people won’t even make it that long. On the entire sales team, only three people have been there longer than 8 months. That should tell you everything. Overall: This role is marketed as opportunity. In reality, it’s instability wrapped in corporate buzzwords. If you value integrity, safety, and being paid what you were led to expect, proceed with extreme caution

Pros of working at North

Pros

North allows me to work from home and the work life balance I am looking for. My management team takes the time to teach and train me what I need to be successful. The team is growing so there are opportunities for career growth. Opportunities in the comp plan are lucrative and extra incentives and bonuses are offered as well. I always feel supported and part of the team. The culture is what I am looking for in a sales role.

Cons

Don't see co workers in person but meet with them on google meets as much as possible.

Thanks so much for this five-star review...we love to see them, but NEVER take them for granted! We’re genuinely proud that you feel we deliver on work-life balance, WFH flexibility, and lucrative compensation opportunities. Hearing that your management takes the time to teach and train you for success is exactly what we aim for. Your positive comments confirm our culture is working exactly how we want it to. We understand the drawback of our remote setup - sometimes its hard to develop relationships quickly when you are only meeting on Google. We'll keep exploring ways to make our virtual interactions, like those Google Meets, even more meaningful and engaging. Thank you for your 5 years of service and dedication to the North team!

Company has great benefits and really nice work life balance. Smaller teams with lenient deadlines.

Direction to improve is ambiguous. Career improvement is minimal.

We love our Product Engineers at North, so its great to hear from you! We're incredibly pleased to hear that our focus on great benefits and work-life balance is resonating so strongly with you. That is a core commitment for us. However, we take your constructive comments on ambiguous direction and minimal career improvement very seriously. It is essential that every team member has a clear path forward. We are actively working to improve the clarity of our long-term product vision and to formalize career frameworks to ensure your growth at North is as strong as your work-life balance. Thank you for helping us focus on these critical areas.
