Poor Leadership Practices

Pros

Ability to touch lots of areas of the product

Cons

Leadership doesn't uphold their end of promises to employees. Hired on with expectation of a 401k match, that was taken away. Was also hired on with expectation to be a fully remote employee, that too has now been taken away. This is going to severely increase the cost of living for local employees as we now have to pay for added expenses such as childcare, transportation, etc.

Pros

They try to create a camaraderie which felt very and inviting and welcoming for about the first two weeks until training was done. If you have decent sales experience, and can produce results instantly and have used some of these softwares and can cold call, this is a fine job for you.

Cons

Once you get two weeks of training on the different softwares you use, you are on your own. You are expected to know, and start producing results instantly. They do not make it clear enough before accepting the job that if you do not hit bike shop requirements by your third week making calls after those 2 weeks that they terminate you. they put no effort into teaching or elevating SDRs. They try to weed the people that need help out even though this is an entry-level position and nobody can be a pro at a new job in five weeks. I reached out to multiple people asking for help. Some of them were helpful, but the leaders were not. I advise having a back up option if you decide to work with Podium as your first sales job.

Toxic Enviorment

Pros

The pay can be amazing.

Cons

Podium struggles to maintain talent. The current team leads beside a few are closers, not managers. There is such a disconnect between departments and they continually make terrible changes. Leaders care about numbers more than they value employees and are having such a small percentage of their employees carry the entire company. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why they have a such high turnover and a toxic work environment yet they still can't figure it out. It is Sad because I love Podium and have been all in but while they have tried to fix an obvious issue and problem which relatively was a simple fix they let their competitors become better than them in the last year. The seniors who they have fed for the last two years who are pulling the company are not happy and as soon as they lose any resources they will leave and Podium will keep digging itself deeper in a hole.
