Pros
- great coworkers, team environment, & collaboration - work hard, play hard - sometimes a con for springbot in particular - commission structure is good and lucrative - PERFECT fit for someone fresh out of college - great for getting your feet wet in software sales - company takes very good care of their employees, overall - yes the usual perks - beer, ping pong, “unlimited PTO”, super casual office, everyone is everyone’s friend kind of environment - I had an excellent manager - being on the right team helps out A LOT - location, location, location!!!! - lots of after hours opportunity to make friends and great for someone new to Atlanta For anyone in the interview process or considering it just know that there is a lot of expectation towards activity and metrics. High call volume but it is rewarded handsomely. Make sure you’re ok with calling and presenting to business owners and marketing managers. They’re by no means Csuite executives but this also means they have no need to filter themselves when a telemarketer calls.
Cons
- springbot is a transactional sales cycle. Not to say this is a bad thing but I don’t recommend it for everyone. Very high pressure sales and high pressure expectations. Being a monthly sales cycle can be draining and not a great fit for everyone. If you’re the work hard play hard type, hungry to get paid, maybe an athlete or former “hype man” amongst your friends it’s probably a great fit for you!! - base salary less than average on the market but commission can make up for that - not a lot of room for upward movement into senior leadership roles but milestone promotions keep pay progressive - product is in a saturated market - LOTS of competition but very few that do it in a consolidated platform such as springbot - granted some of this competition starts at $0 cost and springbot @ $299 - does affect the selling process - yes. Colony square is literally a war zone of construction

Pros
Culture & community - The people are fantastic and it's easy to make lots of new friends. There are plenty of community events from volunteering opportunities to potlucks that help bolster comradery while also giving back to the community. Purpose & responsibility - Everyone plays an integral role in the success of the company. If you're a self-starter who wants to see a direct impact from your role, you'll find that here. Fast-paced and interesting work - The company is growing quickly and has some pretty lofty goals. To be successful here, you should thrive in a fast-paced environment and come to work wanting to make a difference. Do your work well, be engaged in meetings, ask for help when needed and take initiative where you see opportunities. Leadership team - The senior leadership team is incredibly intelligent and hard-working. They have high expectations of their teams, but they encourage collaboration and foster a positive work environment. Hard work is recognized and appreciated. Location - In the heart of Midtown, easy to get to via MARTA. Traffic is awful, but that's Atlanta for you. Transportation - You can choose to have your garage parking paid for by the company or a monthly transportation stipend that can go toward MARTA. Gym on-site - There's a decent gym in the basement of the building that's paid for by the company. Dress code - Casual Amenities - Keurig coffee, kegerator (it's still a work environment & people respect that), ping pong table, lounge areas for breaks
Cons
Work/life balance - You get out what you put in. Long hours can be expected, but there's flexibility in hours and vacation time depending on which department you're in. Everything is results-driven, not a run out the clock mentality. Building, food & parking - Colony Square is going through major renovations right now, so construction is taking up a lot of parking spaces and the noise can be pretty loud at times. Your only options for food in the building are Starbucks, Chik-fil-a, and 1-3 food trucks on any given day. Lack of sophisticated processes & procedures - This is to be expected at a high growth startup. There's lots of progress being made, but if you're looking for a structured, consistent environment this may not be the place for you. Compensation & benefits - The pay is competitive but on the lower end of the spectrum. No 401k match. Technology - Bring your own computer policy, but they do give you a stipend to help get you set up. Limited video-conferencing ability.
