Pros

-A lot of PTO (with the newly implemented no capping policy) -Relatively lax call-out policy (so calling in late or absent one day won't affect you horribly) -Helpful coworkers -Free access to the building's (small) gym -Internal rewards points for sales referrals that you can redeem for things such as gift cards

Cons

-Don't expect bonuses -The support department often gets overlooked in favor of sales -Pay isn't great compared to what other companies pay for the same position -Not a lot of ability for upward or even lateral movements in the company. You either completely change departments or change companies. -Inadequate training for newer hires -High call volume most of the time -Disconnect from upper management on the concerned and needs of employees -Lack of collaboration among integral customer facing departments

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
