Pros

Not many, but benefits are one

Cons

Where do I begin…you will be overworked and underpaid. Also, please don’t get home started on the lack of diversity here (and they do nothing to make this better). My best advice is to avoid this company at all costs.

Pros

The friendships you develop are amazing, the enablement team is great… that’s about it

Cons

The turnover in this role is mind blowing. The sales leadership is either amazing or absolutely terrible. Unless you’re a top producer here, you’re just a number.

Pros

When you start out here they’ll ship you out to Lehi Utah for a week of onboarding, expenses paid for. The company mission and value proposition is very solid. They strive to help local businesses win and the product overall does help local businesses. Working Remote comes with its benefits and downfalls but the ability to do so is a good perk and they do as a whole have a decent work life balance mix.

Cons

I’ll start by saying Podium definitely isn’t for everyone and a lot of good sales people do not succeed here (their words). I really had a hard time deciding if 2 or 3 stars was appropriate but I’m feeling generous. I choose to leave and find a better opportunity. The training is horrid and turnover is extremely real. About 40% of my hiring class made it past the “bike shop” training requirements whether they quit or got fired for not producing or hitting effort metrics within 2 months. In fact I don’t think they even care much about keeping reps long term. The CRO was quoted multiple times in meetings saying they’re trying to reduce turnover and hopefully reps will stay up to 2 years. 2 years is all you strive to get out of your sales employees?? The quotas here are not that achievable for the majority of reps and their territories. I’d say 25-35% of reps hit monthly with a large chunk of that being more tenured reps with more SDR help. This means the OTEs they give you are definitely a long shot. Furthermore, leadership is hit or miss.
