      Extremely High turn over

      Sales development representative (sdr)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to work with a lot of talented great individuals. Tons of benefits including food, gym, and other perks ( however these have recently decreased a lot) If you work your tail off and meet all the high expectations you have a great opportunity to make a decent amount of money

      Cons

      The turnover rate for newly hired SDR’s and AE’s is unheard of crazy. Ramping quota period is only 2 months. After that if you don’t meet the high expectations for 2 months with little training, regardless of underlining circumstances you are put on a performance improvement plan and fired if things don’t improve within the first week. They don’t mess around. I witness many of my team members get fired or burn out before I decided to quit myself.

      Not what it used to be

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pros: - Decent growth opportunities - Cool office building - The people

      Cons

      - Podium used to be awesome. It’s just not that way any more. It has become so corporate/detached from the top down that it’s almost unrecognizable from just a couple of years ago. - I know it’s a “startup”, but so many changes, one after the other, that it’ll give you whiplash. Stick with an idea for more than 3 months instead of scrapping it and starting over…and over and over. - Turnover is pretty crazy high. Almost seems like some teams are full of completely new people every 6-12 months.

      Don’t drink the cool-aid

      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.
