      Finance Management that has employees selling software

      Senior sales engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Expensive workplaces- modern offices, and lunch brought in (so you don't go out)

      Cons

      Management does not care about their teams. Will soon turn into a "churn and burn" shop if managers aren't removed. No thought given to real teamwork, no thought given to the real reason they're there: the customers. No one I knew actually LIKED working there.

      Amateurish management

      Inside sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some nice co-workers, nice physical plant, snacks, etc. You actually get pretty good feeling about the place during the interviews and when you first go in.

      Cons

      Not only does the management has no respect for the employees, they seem to be proud of it. It's like the sales staff are a bunch of animals in a zoo, for the management's entertainment. The self-worshiping punks in management were so drunk with their idiotic little small-time power trips, I could have EASILY sold TWICE as much as I did if it weren't for them. Instead, I sat there and pissed off customer after customer after customer and never heard from them again. If you need to take a couple of hours off to see a doctor because you're sick, or a dentist because you have a toothache, they make you feel like a criminal; it doesn't matter if you have the Leave to take. They want you to work during lunch, work on holidays or weekends, and take a load of work home every night. You have NO life. You get together with some co-workers after work, and all everybody talks about is how they hate their jobs and how stupid the management is, especially the CEO. He is a laughingstock, an absolute idiot.

      Intense

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free food twice a week, nice office building in a decent part of town, some really good people

      Cons

      You really better like Jesus BC the CEO sends out some AMAZINGLY inappropriate emails if you are not a born again. This really is a factory like mentality and you need stamina to keep up. If you are looking for a hip start-up environment, you should look somewhere else.
