Pros

-A few longterm employees are dedicated professionals and a joy to work with. -Primary product (Panel data) is solid. -Compensation/benefits are adequate. -Some work/life flexibility. Allows remote work for most positions.

Cons

-Highly disorganized. Goals are all over the place. Priorities shift frequently at senior leaderships whim. -Extremely high employee turnover. Frequent layoffs. -Difficulty differentiating company/products from competitors. -Poor technology. Comically outdated CRM. Website is functional but needs serious content/technology/branding updates. -Sales primarily operates as "order takers". No hunter mentality. -Severely understaffed Marketing department. No content strategy. Very limited budget. -Everyone has Director/Manager titles. No specialists, coordinators, SDRs.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate the recognition of the dedicated professionals on our team and the value of our panel data product. It's also great to hear that our flexible work options and benefits have been positive aspects of your experience. Regarding your concerns, we acknowledge that restructuring processes like the one we went through in 2024 bring challenges, but they also present opportunities for growth and improvement. Since then, we've worked to strengthen our operations, enhance technology, and refine strategies across departments like sales and marketing. This includes setting clear goals that align with the direction our company is moving toward, ensuring consistency and focus as we continue to evolve. We are committed to fostering clarity in our goals, supporting our employees, and continuing to grow as an organization. Feedback like yours helps us identify areas to focus on as we move forward, and we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share it.

Pros

flexable hours and reliiable pay for the hours you work. paid bi-weekly

Cons

you had a quota of calls you had to have daily and complete surveys. I could not make people answer their phones. i had to keep people on phone to complete surveys. some surveys would take 30mins! i could get completes. but i got cussed at and screamed at very regularly. i could still get a complete survey even being cussed at. but they kept making itarder with new quota requirements. it became a job that was way too stressful. hours dried up after presidential election. it wasnt very reliable on hours.

Pros

Peers are dedicated to each other and success of the team.

Cons

8+ presidents club winners have resigned in the last 12 months. North America sales leadership operates at a sales manager level and not a strategic thinker or executive leader. Comp plan is designed to hit 90-95% goal and not pay commissions.
