Pros

Great product but that’s literally all this company has to offer is a great product.

Cons

Unmanageable workloads. They want quality over quantity but also want you hitting 100 touch points a day. The culture they portray in interviews is not one bit of what it’s actually like working there. They ask you to push their events but will also get upset that you didn’t hit your daily KPIs within your accounts. Leadership is just a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off running around. They say they want to help and coach you to get to the next step in your career but it’s all smoke and mirrors. Leadership in the sales org at least don’t care about anyone but themselves. The favoritism is off the charts at this company. If you aren’t brown nosing your managers or leadership they’ll go to the extreme to get you out. The whole sales org is a disaster!!!!

Ran through sales account patches, below average base pay for role vs. rest of industry, can be a bit of a pressure cooker at times, high turnover
