ProsBackup and Recovery is a great place to be right now. The industry was dominated by Backup Exec for years, but their strangle hold has vanished due to their inability to move from a D2T focus to a more modern D2D2X(Disk, Cloud, Tape). The result is a wide open market with huge portion of customers unhappy with their current solution. Unitrends fits nicely into the space with one of the most robust products at one of the lower price points. Management has invested heavily in providing the sales staff with the tools they need to hit their goals which are aggressive, but reachable. The overall culture in the office is strong. The one star reviews are spread over last year, but must have been employees in 2011 (the year the office was opened) if culture or poor management was a concern.

ConsSales is Sales, which means that stress will always be a factor. The vast majority of Account Managers that have left have gone on to non-sales positions which generally means that it wasn't the company, but rather the role they didn't like. If you don’t enjoy sales then you likely will not make it, but if you do then you have a very good shot at making decent money.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep up the good work. Keep investing in your employees. Keep promoting from within. Keep investing in the product.

ProsCompetitive salary, unparalleled benefits, and the greatest employee appreciation I've seen. Relationship with upper management is very intimate and open-door. I've never been employed anywhere I've gotten to sit down personally with the CEO and discuss the company's goals, challenges, and issues. Needless to say I was moved and appreciative to have this opportunity at Unitrends.

ConsI can't think of one con about working at Unitrends.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep doing what you are doing. The amount of employee appreciation and recognition makes it very easy to give this company my all! I look forward to the exciting growth and opportunity that awaits both Unitrends and myself in the near future.

Current Employee – been working at Unitrends full-time for more than a year

ProsGreat place to begin or continue your sales career. Very sales oriented culture. Fast paced environment with focus of winning against the competition. No limits in commissions and company is expanding due to triple digit growth.
Senior management team is committed to making this a success and driving high performaning culture.
Love the spiffs and contests.

ConsIf you are not up for a challenge - my advice is do not apply ....you will wash out. If you look at the poor reviews, it's all the people who didn't make the cut.....nothing wrong with those folks but they have moved on and unitrends continues to post awesome results.
Sales management is very focused on exceeding revenue targets...so daily accountability is expected.

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue to invest in our growth - because of extremely high growth- growing pains will occur.
Love the new logo!
We need more high quality per and post sales support. We have a great team , do not compromise , continue to hire the best and brightest......!

ProsI've been at Unitrends for 3 months now. Being the first job I've had in IT, the engineers, managers, and fellow teammates have been there to offer help and guidance in every way. The culture is energetic and motivating which is extremely helpful in a sales role.

ConsSales Development requires a lot of hard work and determination. If you are not self-motivated, this job is not for you.

Prosthe location is easy to get to. it's a good product that does what it says it will. when you get people to finally know who Unitrends is.

Consmanagement doesn't want to hear what you have to say if it isn't in lock step with their thoughts. base salary is paltry compared to other companies in the area. there must be a completely different way the company is run from headquarters. all of the positive reviews come from south carolina and all the non satisfied ones are in massachusetts. there is probably a very good reason for this

Advice to Senior Managementmultiple people have said it before. listen to what your employees have to say. you say you do, but you only listen to the ones who echo your sentiment. also, please make sure that the people involved in sales decisions have done sales before and know how the process works.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
