Pros
Fully remote company. The opportunity to make a lot of money, but not what they tell you in the interview process.
Cons
It’s always touted that it’s all about the people! The culture! But realistically, we’re all just numbers and our profitability to the company determines how you’re treated. You are made to feel like a failure and a POS if you aren’t working 16+ hour days 7 days a week. The CEO expects everyone to work as hard as him. They straight up lie on job postings touting quarterly team trips etc, but the only ones that have actually gone on any trip are those that are personal friends with Brandon. Also the “equity for all” is a joke. The amount of shares and the stipulations surrounding them, all the ridiculous ways they can be taken from you, or withheld make it all really laughable. The reason you don’t see many bad reviews is because of the brainwashing. It’s legit a cult. You are told to choose between your family and your job, if you pick your family you’re a loser, anyone that leaves is a loser. You’re feedback will never be heard because the boys club leaders have decided they know everything and no one else could possibly have any good ideas. Remember the Fyre Fest guy who only wanted people to say yes to him and stroke his ego all day long? That’s Brandon. We’re instructed in our pitch to lie about the origin story as well as some things surrounding the product/platform. They don’t come right out and say lie, but they hand you a script tell you to memorize it, pitch exactly as the script says. With very limited research you can figure out the inconsistencies. If you are sick, like legitimately sick or in the hospital you are made to feel worthless and a failure. If you have family obligations, your kids are sick or no daycare etc., you are told that you’ve got to do whatever it takes and need to be working all day everyday. Benefits are trash, you get 14 days of PTO that is also your sick time. You’re told you can’t use it fairly often “bc its mission critical we hit our numbers” which are completely outlandish. They only pay part of the employees benefits, none of dependents, and the coverage sucks. No one on the leadership team has ever grown or scaled a business and it shows. Instead of working to fix issues they just throw more bodies at the problem. They took away the requirement for the SDRs to do the absolute basic of qualification of a call so your calendar will be filled with absolute garbage. People that would never in a million years have a use case. If you don’t close them you’re told you aren’t a true salesman. Your calendar will be filled with 7 meetings that are “open” spots for the SDR to book in a day. As mentioned previously if the person has a pulse and shows up for the meeting they get paid, and we can penalized. You’re also expected to send 50+ texts and emails, along with 100 phone calls a day to existing pipeline or closed won accounts, and if you complain about meeting quality you’re told to self prospect. Promotions happen to people who put up high numbers, not because the person is or can be a good leader. Once promoted you’re not given any tools to be successful as a leader and you’ll have to carry full quota while managing a team. Lastly, the toxic masculinity drips from the pours of leadership, and the majority of the employees. It’s very much a boiler room, frat boy, environment. I could go on and on and on about the other ridiculous things that happen day to day, but I hope you get the idea.
