Selective communication, unrealistic expectations and an unwillingness to listen

Sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

empathetic and supportive middle managers and individual contributors

Cons

Running a remote sales team isn’t easy and the sales team doesn’t expect much more than leaders who tell the truth and care. The new wave of senior sales leaders have operated with a My-Way-or-the-Highway Mindset since joining the company earlier this year. Every day it’s getting harder and harder to continue to stay motivated when being led by hypocritical and absent leaders that gaslight vs truly acknowledging and implementing critical feedback (see review responses for examples).

Great people to work with, but leadership is clueless

Pros

The actual ICs you work with are talented, and friendly,

Cons

Management, and this comes from the CEO down, impose silly expectations on teams across all departments, which leads to burnout and employee churn. Also, their compensation philosophy is "we will do a market analysis to raise comp", wait a long time for a recession, and then say "we can't do raises because of the macro environment".

Bad place to work

Pros

I like some of the people I work with day to day.

Cons

Don't expect anything from upper management. Most managers are very ill-equipped to manage. It's well know that certain managers get repeat bad reviews and nothing is done about it. Over worked, under paid, the list goes on.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I’m glad that you enjoy your colleagues but regret that your outlook on leadership is not very optimistic. As someone who’s joined SmartAsset in recent months, I’ve found it very refreshing to see leaders in all groups owning our short falls and taking very active steps to fix issues. That said, I see the commitment across the leadership team to continually make SmartAsset an exceptional place to work. Let me know if you’d ever like to connect 1:1 - especially if you think that there are growing pains that persist in our blind spots. Thanks again, Meghan Lapides, Chief People Officer.
