      Potential career growth opportunities, but at a big cost.

      Pros

      - Can be a good way to grow your career and get good experience. They're always hiring (b/c of high turnover) and frequently different jobs open up that might be more interesting to you/ a better fit.

      Cons

      - Leadership seems to be constantly changing direction, which means you're inevitably wasting work/ time. - Very high turnover, so you're never really just doing your job, but frequently covering for others. - Felt like we were often trying to do things fast instead of right - and then would have to re-do things. - There's no process or structure and frequent miscommunication between teams & individuals across various locations. - They haven't quite figured out how to be a company with so many locations. - People seemed to be very stressed out and quickly take that out on others - and the cycle continued.

      Pros

      Knowledgeable helpful management staff in sales and support. Certain leaders go out of their way to create coachable moments and a fun environment. Some of the products you have the client locked in and can impose mandatory pricing changes with them really having little opportunity to say no. Easy to make your number and it reflects in the leader boards I've seen. Decent products, not cutting edge but proven.

      Cons

      Constant turnover throughout the organization now. Most of the time they aren't replacing. Key departures of legacy ee's the last two months that took a majority of domain knowledge with them. The pay across the board is lower than market standards. Company philosophy is hire potential and the can grow into the job since they will take the lower pay (and way below average benefits). Many in sales are going to look at what the 2018 fiscal plan is and if the organization doesn't rightsize this year will be seeking employment elsewhere. Lastly not investing in current products but continue to buy other companies. Not a bad model but some of their current cash cows are dangerously close to looking obsolete and while not adding any potential for upsell. Marketing support is almost non existent. Constant turnover in this role and the plans that are in place are mostly just trying to redo something that was done many years ago. This isn't being lazy on their part just newer employees that have been given little training and are stretched really thin.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Sovos operates in an ever-changing market and we are excited to be a frontrunner in the global compliance industry. We embrace this opportunity by taking on the responsibility of providing useful and cutting-edge solutions to our clients that meet the demands of their business-to-government reporting, tax compliance and market-specific obligations. Sovos recently exemplified this, addressing a sales tax regulatory change by implementing compliance solutions for our clients fewer than 24 hours after the original change announcement. Successfully tackling rapid and ever-changing solutions is possible because of our workplace, which is filled with talented, engaged and inspired people. We are happy you recognize that Sovos has leaders who are great coaches and mentors. We agree that Sovos has terrific people! While it’s never easy to lose teammates, we will continue to embrace our values of accountability and adaptability, allowing our employees to embrace these departures as opportunities for personal growth and positive change. Thank you again for your feedback.

      Hard to think of any, I love this place. If you aren't into working hard and having fun you might get frustrated here.
