Pros

Great company to start at and get some experience in various roles to add to a resume. The product itself is good and most employees are a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Do not work here. Once you leave you will see how poor the management and organisation of the company is. No training was provided upon hiring. I don't think I had a conversation with my manager for about 2 weeks after being hired. Management seems to have a big disconnect with reality and some are set to accomplish their own personal goals, regardless of the implications to others and the company. The management has no previous experience which shows as decisions are made from feelings and emotions rather than data and facts. The lead sales manager will blatantly lie your face when called out. He will also set unrealistic expectations then lie when asked to try them himself. Attempts to automate mundane daily tasks were met with hesitation and ridicule. Any ideas brought to management will be shot down because they didn't think of it. The salaries are low and there is no company morale which creates a negative culture that is infectious.

Pros

Really awesome product. I still use it everyday.

Cons

The people are unkind and intolerant. There is a very hostile environment and HR is part of the problem. I was really wanting to learn more about the products but I was being trained by people who did not know how to teach or have patience for people who are learning the product. The marketing department specifically doesn't have the marketing skills worthy of this great product.

Pros

- Your colleagues and fellow team mates - Healthcare benefits

Cons

- Toxic and combative office environment - Job duties can change on a whim and more work does not mean more compensation - Lack of clear expectations - Lack of support from management - A much to be desired "training program" - HR is one person and is unethically run - All staff of one department wants to leave - Management openly discusses that employees are ungrateful and a "bunch of children" around multiple staff members - Management says heinous comments about their wife openly to staff - Management gloats about how many people they've fired - Management hits on women in the office - Do not speak up about culture issues unless you want to be targeted - No growth opportunities - Only three women on staff
