Growing pains. Not worth it for me. - Inside Sales Account Manager Cradlepoint Employee Review

Pros

This company has a lot of potential to be very successful someday, so if you can focus on the big picture, the growing pains can be tolerable.

Cons

The culture was the biggest plus for me when I started, and the CEO made sure it was kept as a priority. Unfortunately, the culture is no longer a focus, and employee morale had faded across the floor. Do not make the mistake of thinking that there is a safe place where you can express your true concerns and not face retaliation. That is unless you are able to get into the "boys club" with management. Former college athletes seem to do well here.

Pros

Great people and management. Hard working team. Very flexible with work life balance. One of the best products in their market. Good partnerships.

Cons

The commission plan is slowly getting worse every year. (Renewals don't pay out at 100% anymore, very difficult to hit quota, multiplier reduction at lower levels) are some examples. This could be different in 2024 but in previous years the quotas were almost impossible to hit in most territories (as a growth company they had to set them high) I don't know the exact number but I would guess around 15-20% of ISR's consistently hit quota. The base pay is average at best (Wages in Idaho are lower than the National average. Compared to traditional sales motions, you don't have much control on building pipeline. There's little things you can do but most of your destiny depends on which install base accounts you have and the partners in your region that are finding business.
