Pros

Leader in their field. Great supporting cast.

Cons

Not really sure what direction to go. Management just says to dial more but sometimes they dont understand that once the customer has the full suite they cant actually buy anything. Also, blew up way to fast and territories are small.

Pros

-None I see no reason, why anybody would want to stay at this company in the long run. If I could give this place 0 stars....I would.

Cons

**Worked on the Operations Team -Highly Understaffed -Poor Brand Name Recognition (Won't do much good to include on your Resume) -A lot of pay is in stock -No matching 401K -0% Work Life Balance -Management is awful and highly political -Work culture is terrible (either your on the "inside" and play heavy politics or on the "outside" where people treat you as expendable) -No opportunity for growth or learning -A Small company with Big company problems and without any of the benefits **MARK MY WORDS. DO NOT WORK HERE. HR IS VERY GOOD AT PERSUASION. DON'T LISTEN TO THE SIREN SONG!
