Decent company, poor culture in some areas

Pros

I feel like this corporation is run fairly well and provides employees the tools they need to be successful. The job is pretty easy and I've been able to work from home/coffee shops on a regular basis. I would say that you can have decent quality of life here, depending on your local management.

Cons

There are no signed bonus plans. I was top 5% in the company and got a measly $2k bonus. They dangle bonuses in front of you but there isn't a BDR in this company who actually knows what the bonus plan is. Furthermore, the BDR role doesn't do anything that a BDR should. We are hardly given the opportunity to chase new business or develop pipelines. The BDR role here is purely an Account Manager, except they call it a BDR so they can provide BDR-level pay. I've seen regions where the culture is fantastic and supportive, I've seen areas where people are miserable because of the leadership. Whether you'll enjoy this job or not is pretty much determined by where you're hired.
