Pros

- Salary and commission with plenty of boosters and incentives + stock options - Direct management is in tune with everything every AE is doing in the business - Upper management knows exactly where they are bringing the overall company - (Good be considered pro or con) but fully flexible work environment with some WeWork spaces opening up in the city for employees to go to

Cons

- Upper management setting unrealistic expectation for mid-level and low level management - They have incredible technology but haven't been able to figure out how to properly use it all yet with a database full of bad contacts - felt like most of the day was working off the system or when pushed to work off the system was having to research information to get good info - Not much training anymore outside of the 1st week your in the position - AE's battling it out to take ownership of contacts with so many rules of engagement that have so many loopholes

Hi this is Matthew Mason, VP of Sales at SmartAsset. Thanks for sharing your candid feedback! SmartAsset is a fast-growing company with aggressive, well thought out goals that our team often meets and/or exceeds. As you mentioned, we are very explicit about this during the interview process. Sales is certainly a challenging endeavor and we’re constantly looking for ways to improve our processes and remove any friction / inefficiencies. We're actively pursuing data enrichment solutions to ensure our AE's are spending more time reaching out to prospects and less time searching databases. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but as we aggressively scale we’ve also been investing in improving our sales operations, infrastructure and training with a handful of key hires and tech solutions. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I’m always happy to chat and help. Have a great day!

Pros

It's a good place to start as a stepping stone. All the movers and shakers leave for bigger and better things. There is a reason why this company still needs funding and isn't actually making money. Was a great stepping stone but not more than a year. Cool people to work with and some of the platforms are pretty awesome. Compared to other companies the "high sales" is pretty average compared to other companies. Hence why the movers and shakers don't stick around long and it's a great place to start.

Cons

The interview process is ridiculous. My role now I interview people and I know after 10 min if they are good to hire. The fact that there are 2 hr interviews is absurd. Either management doesn't know what they're doing, or love to waste time. The turnover is also pretty high considering the amount of interview time needed to hire a person they will lose in a few months. And the micromanagement is suffocating and unnecessary.
