Pros

Remote. Great people but operate as a start tech company. Strong focus on cold calls. Data is outdated in sf and people come and go. Training needs much work as most do not come from a hcm background.

Cons

You are on a timetable which means you make it or break it. Too many useless web ex meetings. High pressure using old tactics phone wise.So much change in tools and teams

Pros

Teammates are genuine. Health benefits are decent

Cons

Absolute worst company ever. The most micromanaging and condescension from the leaders. It is horrible. They treat you like a working horse, and not a human being. There is extreme favoritism that takes place as well.
