Pros

company totally invest in you and helps you grow personally and professionally. Great benefits, and culture and free space to be who you want to be.

Cons

Forever changing senior management, not true career path, promotions granted by who you know not experience and true talent. Quotas are a roller coaster with no empathy for over 50% of the sales floor missing.

Pros

- Remote work - Good coworkers, opportunities to meet in-person - Exciting product

Cons

Leadership in the Agent Software and Advertising have forgotten how to or given up on driving change with a human touch. There is little consideration for the sales team or customer ability to keep up with new products, processes and systems. Key positions, promotions and even some layoffs are politically driven. Downward pressure is continuously placed on annual comp and refresher opportunities with significantly increased output expectations. Work-life balance is eroding with an always on culture shift.
