      Decent Entry Level Job

      Pros

      Sovos is a decent entry level job for someone just out of college. The people that work there are great. Your peers/team are the best part of being in the office There is a great culture and if you're lucky enough, your team feels like a second family. There were plenty of great perks like free snacks/sodas/lacroix/coffee and a ping pong table. Though some other reviews the pay is made to seem lower than industry standard, to be honest it's pretty comparable or more to other companies, at least for the position I was in. If you put in work and had aspirations to move up within the company, leadership seemed pretty game to help guide and coach you for a promotion, though the desired positions were not always open. Also, company sales trips/meetings were always a blast.

      Cons

      Sometimes the work can be really stressful, and because of that, work/life balance can suffer greatly. Maybe it has changed since I was there, but some territories/lines of business were royally screwed and destined to fail from the start, and as such, those reps maybe seemed to have a different opinion of the job, and can you blame them? Again, if you were lucky enough, your team can feel like a family, but if not you were not so lucky, it seems like you could have been easily left behind and forgotten. Sovos is a rapidly growing company and if you are not able to adapt to change, you can easily be left behind. With it acquiring so many other companies, it seemed to leave us wondering what the identity of the company was and how to work with other lines of business, but I'm sure that has been improved by now. There definitely seemed to be some some hostility, no maybe that is too strong of a word, but some slight antagonism between departments (sales/service/etc.) I'm sure that is too strong of a word too, but there was definitely a weird vibe.

      We really appreciate the feedback you have provided. It’s great that you were able to experience being part of a family-like team and recognized the great culture at Sovos. We also appreciate the acknowledgement for the coaching and guidance made available for career growth. We hear you on some of the territory lines for sales, which unexpectedly made things a little more difficult for our reps. However, you are correct that things have changed since. We have recognized we need to restrategize to consider recent and future growth. We want all our employees to have the opportunity to be and to feel successful! We’re sorry to hear about the friction between departments you experienced. We are actually in the midst of obtaining our latest engagement survey results and are looking forward to reviewing the feedback to help problem solve. Thanks again for taking the time to provide your feedback. We wish you luck in your new role!

      Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback! We really appreciate you noticing the time and energy spent into hiring career minded folks. This is one of our company goals. We’re bummed to hear the perception on the turnover; believe it or not, it’s the lowest it has ever been! We’ll do a better job at sharing some of that great information back to the company.

      Future growth and change

      Pros

      Opportunities for growth are endless, but you have to work hard and show that you want it. Each office has a fun and exciting culture and it differs between each office environment. The employees are very helpful and like to challenge thought processes and offer new ideas that impact the business. Not every company has those employees. The company is growing offices and product lines and that is exciting for the future. It seems like managers care about what their employees are looking for and what they want to move into position wise and thats nice to see Flexible PTO is super nice and some managers are more lenient on working from home sometimes.

      Cons

      Change and department movement can affect people in different ways. Sometimes management doesn't always communicate change in the best manner, emails don't always cut it.
