Great Company - Tough Environment for Sales

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The CEO is hands down one of the best leaders I have worked for. The company is extremely successful, amazing benefits, and there are tons of great people to work with.

Cons

Be careful if you are joining for sales. There is definitely room to make a lot of money, but the culture became very toxic. Doesn't seem management cares at all for its employees, and you are given nearly impossible quotas and metrics. Especially if you have a bad territory, you'll be afraid of getting fired even if you just started. They use scare tactics and will put you on plan, even if you knocked it out of the park the previous quarters. They change quotas all of the time, and people are constantly in fear of their job. Also, even though you have unlimited PTO, it's frowned up to leave or ask for time off, and don't expect to leave before you make 100 dials in a day. It's a glorified call center. This company will be successful, but the culture can be quite toxic, so make sure you're ready for that. The pay is also way below industry standards.
