Pros

The benefits are not too bad. Have met some great friends here. About a dozen of us are set to leave by the end of Q1.

Cons

Working at SmartAsset is like signing up for a masterclass in misery taught by the most incompetent, soul-crushing ghouls imaginable. The management? A pack of spineless yes-men who couldn’t lead a conga line, let alone a company. They preach “teamwork” and “innovation” while micromanaging every breath you take, second-guessing every decision, and then taking credit for anything that doesn't crash and burn. The pay? A laughable pittance, barely enough to cover the therapy you’d need after enduring their toxic nonsense. The culture is a cesspool of favoritism and backstabbing. If you aren't in the clique of brown-nosers who spend more time gossiping than working, you are invisible—or worse, a target. HR is a joke, a black hole where complaints go to die, and the turnover rate is so high they should install a revolving door. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO WORK AT A PLACE THAT IS "ALWAYS HIRING" ON LINKEDIN? The only thing SmartAsset excels at is draining your will to live while pretending it is “building character.” If you’re considering a job there, run—don’t walk—away. SmartAsset doesn’t just deserve to fail; it deserves to be erased from existence.

Pros

The people are the only good thing about this company.

Cons

Top Reps who get endless inbound leads are also trying to take the outbound opportunities you find, making it even harder to see success. Sales cycle is 6-12 months for an average of $2k deal size. Odds of success are extremely low- Almost every rep here has been extremely successful in prior roles but more than 75% of the reps hit less than 50% of their quota on average.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Sales at SmartAsset is undeniably fast-paced and results-driven, and we recognize that it may not be the right fit for everyone. That said, we are always working to create a structure where effort and skill translate into success. We’ve made several key improvements to create a more structured and transparent sales process. This includes refining our lead distribution approach, enhancing coaching opportunities, and setting clearer expectations around deal ownership. Our goal is to provide every Account Executive with the tools, training, and support they need to build a strong pipeline and achieve success. We also know that hearing from a range of perspectives is crucial, and we take all feedback seriously. If you’d be open to sharing more details, we’d welcome the conversation. You can reach out to peopleops@smartasset.com to get connected with me. Wishing you the best in your next role. - Britt Pennington, Senior Director of Sales
