Pros

$1 health insurance (good too), great pay for the region, fairly easy to maintain a good work/life balance, projects are usually very reasonable and easy to keep on track

Cons

Definitely not a "modern" tech stack, but we are at least starting to move in that direction. Depending on your management, experience can be great or absolutely awful. I've had both here.

Pros

Pay was fairly high for the industry, the company seems to genuinely care about diversity

Cons

Toxic culture, hostile& petty management, nonstop process changes with no notice, the longer you’ve been there, the lower your pay raises are (meaning that new hires will quickly be making almost as much as more tenured employees)

Unbelievably toxic culture

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Money could be good….if you can deal with psychotic micro-managing from their corporate office…but something like 90% of sales reps either quit or get fired during their first year

Cons

The single most toxic workplace I’ve ever experienced. Get ready to work 70+ hours a week in a territory that’s been heavily prospected, with corporate leaders staring down your neck every second of every day, looking for a reason to fire you. Every single rep I ever met is terrified that they’ll be next to get fired. Motivation is fear-based, and that’s by design. Has the feel of a scammy multi-level marketing company on the inside. Corporate HQ cares more about how much you’re drinking their kool aid than your actual financial performance, and star reps are constantly being fired on minimal notice. President’s Club means nothing in terms of job security, and they’ll start interviewing your replacement the second that they think you had one bad week. The whole “our sales reps are so rich” image that they push so hard is fools gold. Clawbacks are common, stock gifts don’t vest for years and years (they know you won’t be around long enough for them to vest), and they won’t hesitate to pull reps off of deals and fire people on the spot. When I first opened my desk drawers, I found business cards from 4 prior reps who didn’t last longer than 8 months
