Improvements to be made, but not soon enough

Pros

- Often said, and true: those in the "trenches" are awesome. Many lifelong frienships have been made - The benefits are pretty good now, including 401K match - We do make a difference in the industry. Our customers gain value from our product

Cons

I can't deny what's been said in other previous negative reviews. The revolving door of leadership, the lack of empathy from the top, scattered vision and product. I think this will work itself out eventually but it's hard to want to stay in the current environment. The new president talks about making people successful and happy, but the priorities currently are to run people ragged internally so they are too exhausted to do anything but fall in line. It's hard to believe anyone will be able to make positive changes soon at TE, though it's desperately needed. Main cons: - Lack of improvement on central product - long time gripes of our customers and internal employees continue to be deprioritized or ignored (reporting, customizable CRM, core print/marketing improvements, wholesale) in order to prioritize expansion into sectors we aren't prepared to accommodate or support (consumer direct, banking) - Tolerance to allow customers to verbally abuse employees because their ARR is too high to lose - Cross departmental silos - they keep saying they have broken them down but every week more layers are added so it's nearly impossible to work with other teams, which means our customers issues don't get resolved in a timely manner, so they suffer (and customer facing teams suffer too)

Pros

It may sound cliché, but I don't care--the people here are really really good at their jobs. They care. They work hard. They like each other. We have a ton of fun. It's why I get out of bed every day. But the other half of it is the opportunity I see at Total Expert. Our customers love us and it's because we make their lives easier and help them solve some major headaches. We have a tremendous product-market fit and we're continuing to open up new markets within financial services with every capability we deliver. I've read some of the other reviews on Glassdoor and I have to say--high growth SaaS isn't for everyone. It's not easy, but it is rewarding. It's a constant drumbeat of good, challenging work. This is my third mid-size SaaS company in a row and there's a reason for that--I don't think I'd do well at big companies (or startups, for that matter). I love the thrill of growing pipelines, building teams, watching individuals make big impact. That's what I get at Total Expert. That's why I'm happy to be here.

Cons

If you've ever worked in small-to-mid-size SaaS, you've seen what it takes to succeed. It's hard work. There's no phoning it in. But people choose this type of company because we love the thrill of the win. We love to see our customers successful and happy with our product. We're working as a team to gain more focus, communicate more heavily, collaborate more closely.

Pros

Solid benefits and compensation. The people are great to work with. The new leadership seems hands-on, experienced, and excited about potential for the company. Have been here for a few years and they seem like the right mix of leaders

Cons

Still figuring out some things as far as direction, and then there is some recent turnover at senior ranks. Not that many people are in the office but people engage virtually
