Cons

can get caught up in the culture and not recognize how change effects top performers

Cons

Not always the best management, culture has shifted as company has grown

Cons

A company that plays favorites, has terrible middle management and doesn't pay nearly enough. They will sell you on the "mobility" that you have within the company but it is sadly not true. I've wasted years of my career on this place.

Cons

Very competitive sales atmosphere and a new employee must "produce" in order to stay?

Cons

-Currently on Promotion freeze
-Pay is far below industry average for sales
-Summer hours which have been a huge perk are no longer given
-Not much focus or direction since the sale
-Customers are very unhappy as products are not working

Cons

If you aren't focused on goals or quota driven - it can be a hard journey here.

Cons

Company's value proposition to the market is gone. The competition caught up in 2013 and has since lapped them so many times that it's now embarrassing. The effort to diversify their revenue stream from advertising into software has been a joke and that's being nice about it. The software straight up doesn't work. Leadership has reps selling this as the end all solution but won't even show the reps (much less the clients) a full demo of the product (usually just screen shots) and the reason why is it's never fully built!! Recently the new HCM/Ben Admin software was sold by a teammate of mine only to find out after that its only now in Alpha testing!!! How can you push reps to sell a product that's not even in Beta testing?!?! This is how all new products are rolled out. What happens is you sell it, client is mad that it doesn't work, then you have to protect that revenue the following year and sell that client more products but the problem is the client won't buy anything else and will likely buy much less than the previous year which murders your ability to even hit quota.

There have been a few reps who've walked into a perfect situation within their accounts where a solution was needed immediately and they were there at the right place at the right time. One rep in particular made in excess of $2M in 2016. However this isn't a repeatable situation but leadership acts like it is and gets mad at reps for not doing the same. It's purely delusional.

Reps are leaving voluntarily in droves. In my office we went from 20 reps to 7 inside of a year. In the month of June alone my team said goodbye to 4 reps. That's 1 per week!! People don't leave good companies in mass like this unless the ship is sinking and it is most certainly a sinking ship.

No clear direction, products don't work, sales process is jacked up, reps are the only ones that carry the stress, next to zero help on anything and everything, executive leadership is so arrogant that they are oblivious to what is really going on in the meetings with clients. Our clients DO NOT have to have CB anymore and with our recent track record of poor performance, it's becoming impossible to sell.

Cons

fast paced environment and lots of change so need to be adaptable

Cons

Can't think of any right noe

Cons

The downsides include, inconsistency with strategy from upper management, unclear communication, technology needs to be improved because of too many technical issues internally and within customer accounts and the lack of diversity inclusions (gender, ethnicity, lifestyles, etc).
