VelocityEHS reviews

They talk a lot about transparency and culture. They also told everyone for 3 months straight the company would be fine...and then one day they laid off nearly 50 people all at once, and told us if we talked about it they would dock our severances. So I guess that sort of speaks for family and transparency... These reviews are predominantly made by HR. Its very obvious they're fake and made up, it's blatant...so take it all with a grain of salt. That probably explains why turnover is pretty high..... It's entry level sales...so a lot of cold calling. It's tedious and boring, but it pays alright. If you can stomach it and can stick around they give decent raises. But if you cant stand to repeat one thing 60 times in a day...this isn't for you. If youre a fresh college grad I wouldnt recommend this place...you can prob do better. This is mindnumbing stuff.

Seems like most of the remaining managers were all promoted to lead teams of 10+ reps and associates at the mere ages of their early 20s. Whereas most Sales manager positions require prior leadership experience and/or 10 years of sales experience alone. For most this has been the only job they've ever had aside from probably scooping ice cream just a short 2-5 years prior when they were in college. So give them two years of sales experience for a small mid market territory, then they were promoted to Sales Managers. Very fake it til you make it mentality here. New VP has recognized it, hopefully changes. Lots of talk about career growth, but the reality is you can go from an associate to an account executive. Not much further. They've already noticed the past ways of premature promotion probably wasn't such a good idea. Now you just move up one position, sell the exact same product (despite like 5 acquisitions) for years to come, and just get a higher quota. Not exactly career progression if you're just doing the same thing over and over Sales team in general has moved to this odd environment that seems very disingenuous. If it's simply not your style, you're consistently told to "get off the bus". Essentially the new management's way of saying our way or the highway. Keep asking for feedback quarterly, but when they get it the rebuttal is "well actually you're wrong"
