Pros
Remote work opportunity and paid summer break
Cons
This is a great professional clean room where sterility mixed with technicality could get you downsized with very little callous or even thought or feeling at all. The remote environment is a ghost town, a labyrinth of learning from a brand new name tag no one knows or cares about, their lifeless words willing to drone on with their own melted morale. You will be responsible for guilt tripping your coworkers into showing you how to navigate your territory, every list in SF, subsequently arranging that list to be managed by another separate software necessary for pipeline management, your job depends on their daily performance in coordination. Train yourself, training was a joke and more if an orientation than training. You also prospect every single business by hand on Google while edging the slippery slope of losing access to your territory at a whim, no matter how many unpaid hours of overtime were required by you to stack it full. Unlimited PTO means you are a salary employee. You won't have time to learn all your tools, stack your territory and get all of your appointments to stick, so be careful planning time off if you do not get a perfectly stacked territory. I was terminated after leading my teams for weeks in a row for appointments set and even dollars generated on an "unfortunate technicality." The people that made money sold to former customers, if you get a new territory with little or no former customers, you will no make it. It's literally a twilio front end and the few customers I was actually permitted to contact were all unhappy, they were as bad as the cold calls and I spent most of the time with current customers writing support tickets and canceling. Extremely Hard to get opps, many AEs are expecting the customers to show up on a Zoom meeting after a 2 min call with the SDR, wallets in hand, ready to cut a check for the lowest package many are too fearful to ask for. Your manager's in a meeting, Did you expect support? We hired a professional salesperson and in 5 days of training in a room of 100 people, you are expected to learn everything, if you miss 2 month of quota regardless of it being the worse economic downturn in a decade, you will be terminated. I have been in sales for 20+ years and have never been fired for performance before this dystopia. They said the laptop was free and then told me I have to give it back to them, no severance, loss access to the 401k match and the stock options... Perks expire before you can use them and the store is out of stock of everything. Benefits package is skinny and limited in terms of maximum payouts. Overall worse experience of my professional career and I will be contacting the magazine that listed them as the best place to work and ask them to reconsider listing this revolving door.
