Pros

Great product, great company values

Cons

NYC leadership in their RCG (retail and consumer goods) business is toxic. It starts at the top with their EVP who sets a tone of narcissism, ego driven, autocratic leadership. Only the inner circle survive and thrive.

Pros

Great pay and benefits Interesting work Wonderful perks when we were in person A noble attempt at building a workplace community

Cons

1. Being a female over 40 is dangerous unless you are deemed traditionally attractive and in a submissive role. Despite all the lip service to “equality” the idea of it within the workplace culture is selective an applies only to those who cow and obey the party line. 2. Salesforce puts the CULT in CULTure. There’s an underlying expectation that Salesforce should fulfill every part of your being. From spiritual, “join this mumbo jumbo mindfulness session lead by some trendy junk shaman” to the political that seems to only represent one side of an issue. 3.

Pros

- massive company with great reputation - will learn and grow as a sales person in technology - can be a fun environment - opportunities for growth are there - company as a whole is incredible and truly inspirational

Cons

- Impossibly high quotas with low commissions - very difficult to succeed in an extremely competitive and cut throat environment - work depends on your manager, if he/she is difficult or uptight your daily job will be hard - zero work from home flexibility - tends to feel like you’re just a number - the recruiter will most likely over hype the role and be very aggressive with you - Overworked and not rewarded I was so excited to work for salesforce and honestly am more than disappointed. Took a huge step back financially to come here (as they convince you you have to do) for the results in the long run. We are treated like part of a call center. I would not recommend this job to a friend or colleague.
