Pros

1. Burton Goldfield is a genuinely good, caring CEO in my eyes. Many great people! 2. Truly get to bring great value and insight and affect actual change inside of some companies making their employees lives and their company better. Great colleagues at the rep level. Everyone acts like adults, yet still has fun. 3. Some of the training is top-notch C-Suite consultative sales training. I definitely have developed professionally and honed my skills. Not a cheap company when it comes to travel, training and expense accounts as long as producing and can justify the ROI.

Cons

1. Constant executive changes and reforming new, and way over-cumbersome and micromanaging administrative CRM work. 2. New complicated and inequitable compensation plan. Nobody understands it and there have been massive issues. Also those who have lower salaries because they were working for life of client residuals did not get their salaries raised to match their peers when the comp plans unified and residuals were removed. A LOT of unhappy reps. 3. Activity KPIs more important than the number sold. 4. IMPLEMENTATION TEAMS. They act like people picked up the phone and begged to be 6 figure clients. They must be kept collared and on a short leash while navigating an extremely cumbersome proposal through onboarding process. Get them to your CSA ASAP or face losing months of work before they ever come aboard. I have seen colleagues whole years go up in smoke.
